Arlington, VA – AFP Action is launching a new series of testimonial ads highlighting the policy failures of Senators Bob Casey (PA), Sherrod Brown (OH), and Tammy Baldwin (WI). These ads, part of a previously announced $10 million campaign on digital and connected TV platforms, feature real voters expressing their frustration with the reckless spending that has contributed to an extreme cost-of-living crisis. The campaign aims to amplify the voices of constituents calling for a new approach to economic growth and for voters to hold these Senators accountable in November.

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento gave the following statement:

“Americans are increasingly frustrated with the consequences of the irresponsible policies endorsed by Senators Bob Casey, Sherrod Brown, and Tammy Baldwin. Sky-high grocery and gas prices are direct results of the failed Biden-Harris administration. These senators not only supported an economic agenda that negatively impacted millions of American families, but they also promoted it as progress and did nothing to address its adverse effects.”

“It’s time for these senators to stop deflecting blame. A vote for any of these Senators is a vote to continue taking our country in the wrong direction. Voters deserve better leadership, and they believe they will find it in the commonsense solutions and fresh ideas offered by Dave McCormick, Bernie Moreno, and Eric Hovde.”

The voices of the constituents are loud and clear. In Pennsylvania, Heather R. from Pittsburg says, “Dave McCormick knows what we are going through more than Bob Casey, I trust Dave McCormick.” Similarly, in Ohio, Rosalind F. from Cincinnati, shares her concerns over prices with other constituents around the kitchen table: “I feel that this economy and the food prices they’re affecting the working and the middle class, the people that Sherrod Brown said he was going to protect.” And in Wisconsin, Lindsey F. from Sheboygan says, “the cost of living is skyrocketing.”

MISSOULA, MT – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) and Concerned Veterans for America Action (CVA Action) are launching a new million-dollar ad buy in Big Sky Country highlighting how irresponsible policies supported by Senator Jon Tester have failed Montana veterans, families, and businesses.

In “Not Working,” Montanans hear from Sonia H., the stepmother of a Marine who committed suicide after returning from deployment. Sonia says,” Jon Tester is the chairman for Veterans Affairs, and he hasn’t fixed anything.”

“CVA Action is supporting Tim Sheehy because he understands the struggles veterans face when they come home after serving their country,” said John Byrnes, CVA Action Senior Advisor. “Unlike Senator Jon Tester, Sheehy won’t be a rubber stamp for President Biden’s failed agenda. Sheehy will take a firm stand for veterans and military families in Montana, honoring our nation’s promise to our heroes who served by removing red tape and empowering veterans to choose when and where they receive their health care. Montanans deserve a new direction, not more of the same.”

“These ads contrast the lack of action from Jon Tester with Tim Sheehy’s vision for a new Montana,” said AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Ramos. “For decades, Jon Tester has failed to deliver for veterans, small business owners and Montana families. Tim Sheehy has created jobs and has the experience to address inflation costing Montana families thousands more per month.”

The Montana ads are part of a massive $10 million ad buy targeting the key Senate states of Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is launching a new million-dollar set of testimonial ads in the Battle Born State highlighting how irresponsible policies supported by Senator Jacky Rosen have hurt Nevada families and businesses.

The Nevada ads are part of a massive $10 million ad buy targeting key the Senate states of Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Inflation in the state is costing the average Nevada family $1,175 more each month. Jacky Rosen has not helped solve the cost-of-living crisis facing Nevadans, instead, she voted for the Biden-Harris Inflation Reduction Act which has not reduced inflation and has cost the average Nevada household $32,544 more since January 2021.

“The ads contrast Nevada’s economic struggles under Jacky Rosen with a new vision for a more prosperous Nevada if Sam Brown is elected to office,” says AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro. “Brown will focus on lowering taxes for Nevada families, cutting spending and reigniting Nevada’s comeback.

“With more than a million voters reached out to in Nevada so far, AFP Action remains laser-focused on bringing Sam Brown’s positive vision for Nevada to voters.”

In the ad “Suffocating,” Lisa E. from Las Vegas says, “The cost of living is out of control, I blame our elected officials. It was not like this even four years ago,” pointing at Jacky Rosen’s lack of action. “Jacky Rosen is nowhere to be found. To me, she’s a big disappointment,” shared Chere P. of Boulder City.

ANCHORAGE, AK – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is proud to announce its endorsement of Nick Begich for Alaska’s at-large congressional seat.

Alaskans deserve a leader who embodies the independent spirit of the Last Frontier. Since her election, Mary Peltola has sided with the Biden-Harris administration each step of the way.

AFP Action is confident there is a path to victory in this race and our team of grassroots staff and volunteers are laser-focused on ensuring Begich is elected come November. This endorsement is part of AFP Action’s “Firewall Strategy” to prevent one-party progressive rule in Washington, DC.

“AFP Action is proud and excited to endorse Nick Begich in his bid to unseat Mary Peltola in Congress. Begich has vast policy experience and a vision for fiscal restraint and responsibility. We are confident that in this two-way race, Begich is the best candidate to serve Alaskans across our great state.”

Arlington, VA – As reported by CBS News, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is launching a massive new wave of ads highlighting how irresponsible policies supported by Senators Jon Tester (MT), Jacky Rosen (NV), Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey (PA), Tammy Baldwin (WI), and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (MI), have hurt our economy, and sent inflation soaring. The new ads will be backed by more than $10 million and air on digital and connected television.

One of the ads focuses on how Senator Bob Casey consistently put his party ahead of the people he represents, voting a staggering 98% with the Biden-Harris big-spending agenda that sent inflation through the roof. The ads also criticize Senators Tester, Rosen, Brown, and Baldwin as well as Rep. Slotkin, who is seeking a promotion, for their support of the $1.2 trillion Inflation Reduction Act, legislation that has cost families across the country an additional $1,000 every month.

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento issued the following statement on the buy:

“These Senators drove our economy over a cliff by voting in lockstep with the Biden-Harris administration’s far-left progressive agenda, and now they want a do-over. Our country cannot afford it. Jon Tester, Jacky Rosen, Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey, Tammy Baldwin, and Elissa Slotkin have consistently sided with their party over their state. Their actions have made life unaffordable for millions of Americans, yet they continue to point the finger at everyone but themselves. Americans don’t need more excuses; they need new leadership. The policies they support make life harder, and it’s time to vote them out.”

At the same time, the ads contrast these failed policies with the promise of a brighter future under leaders like Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy, entrepreneur Eric Hovde, first-generation American Bernie Moreno, experienced former Rep. Mike Rogers, American veteran Sam Brown, and business leader David McCormick. Each of these candidates has committed to championing policies to combat inflation and eliminate needless barriers standing in the way of American businesses and entrepreneurs.
