AFP Action Targets Key Senators Failures in New Ads for Out-of-Touch Policies Resulting in “Unbearable Costs”

Arlington, VA – AFP Action is rolling out a new series of testimonial ads calling out the policy failures and reckless spending of Senators Jon Tester (MT), Sherrod Brown (OH), and Bob Casey (PA), leading to the worst cost of living crisis in a generation. The ads are part of an existing $3.5 million buy across digital and connected TV platforms and feature the voices of real voters bearing the brunt of the harmful policies driving inflation. 

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento gave the following statement:

“Americans are facing record-high prices at the grocery store and gas pumps, a direct result of the failed Biden-Harris policies supported by Senators Jon Tester, Sherrod Brown, and Bob Casey.

“Each of these career politicians are responsible for record high inflation that is harming everyday Americans. They are out of touch and disconnected from how people are suffering from their failures. Voters deserve better and are ready for the commonsense solutions and fresh leadership of Tim Sheehy, Bernie Moreno, and Dave McCormick to get the job done.”

The ads in Pennsylvania emphasize the desire for leaders who understand the fundamentals of a successful economy and reject the Inflation Reduction Act as ineffective. These voters are concerned that their Senators have been in Washington, D.C., for too long and are now out of touch with their constituents’ needs.

Similarly, the ads in Montana and Ohio express concerns about the current cost of living crisis and the dangers of continuing the downward spiral of a failed economy and what that could mean for future generations. As Jill H., a voter from Missoula, Montana, said, “I’m worried about where our country is going and I’m worried that my kids are going to grow up in a world that is vastly different from the one I grew up in.”

To date, this cycle, AFP Action has reached out to more than 5.6 million voters — in more than 140 federal and state races across the country.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement: 

“Pennsylvanians deserve better than career politician Bob Casey and his unwavering support for the Biden-Harris economic agenda. Casey has supported trillions of dollars in government spending directly responsible for the high inflation and rising costs burdening Pennsylvania families and businesses today.  

“Dave McCormick is the leader we need. He will work hard to rein in reckless spending, cut costly regulations, and unleash American energy to drive our economy forward. Pennsylvanians cannot afford another six years of Bob Casey. It’s time for a fresh voice to get the job done.”

AFP Action’s Latest $1.25M Ad Buy Highlights Real Wisconsin Voters Betrayed by Tammy Baldwin

Madison, WI – This week, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) highlights real Wisconsin voters suffering the severe consequences of Tammy Baldwin’s relentless support of radical spending policies in a $1.25 million ad buy airing across the Badger State.

“Tammy Baldwin spent a trillion dollars on the Inflation Reduction Act. It did not help us.” – Jackie B., Tigerton, WI

“When you need to fix the economy, you take it to a businessman. He understands what it takes to be successful” – Bobbie S., Sheboygan, WI 

The Wisconsin ads feature testimonials of real Wisconsin voters who feel betrayed by Tammy Baldwin’s support of radical spending policies directly responsible for high inflation and rising costs. These voters are calling for real change and share why they believe Eric Hovde is the problem-solving leader who can help reignite Wisconsin’s economy. 

 AFP Action Senior Advisor Megan Novak made the following statement:

“Career politician Tammy Baldwin continues to fail Wisconsinites. Her relentless support of reckless government spending and lockstep voting record with the Biden-Harris administration is directly responsible for the economic uncertainty, high inflation, and rising costs burdening Wisconsinites today.”

“Eric Hovde is the problem-solving leader that Wisconsinites need. As a businessman, he understands the issues and promises to cut spending, remove costly regulations, and unleash American energy independence. Hovde is committed to representing Wisconsin and determined to work hard to get our economy back on a path to prosperity.”

The ads are part of a major $5.75 million ad buy targeting key Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

AFP Action Calls Out Democrat Senators to Own Their Failures, Launches Major $5.75M Ad Buy Across Key Senate States

Ads Underscore Urgent Need to Turn the Page from Democrats Reckless Spending, Historic Inflation

Arlington, VA — As reported in Fox News, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is calling out lawmakers for their failures, launching a major new series of ads targeting key Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This $5.75 million campaign focuses on the severe consequences that families are facing amid sustained historic inflation and the reckless spending policies that fueled it.

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

“Voters are tired of Washington doubling down on failed policy and then handing them the bill. But that’s what every incumbent Senator has done during their time in office—some of them for decades. The pain is very real for Americans still deciding who to vote for in November, but when you look at their record, it’s very clear that Senators Brown, Baldwin, Casey, Rosen, and Tester can’t be trusted to vote the right way when it comes to reducing inflationary spending or securing the border. 

“Any one of these Senators were the deciding vote to push the Biden-Harris administration’s massive influx of spending forward, forcing inflation into overdrive – and every single one put their Party ahead of their constituents. Americans across the country are paying the price. The last thing our country can afford is to send these Senators back to Washington for more of the same failed policies.”

Senators Jon Tester (MT), Jacky Rosen (NV), Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey (PA), and Tammy Baldwin (WI) voted for major inflationary spending and regulatory policy of the Biden-Harris administration. They fully own the pain their constituents are experiencing in the form of more expensive gas, groceries, and an overall higher cost of living and they need to be held accountable it.

At the same time, the ads contrast these failed policies with the promise of a brighter future under leaders like Bernie Moreno in Ohio, Sam Brown in Nevada, and Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania, with testimonials of real voters supporting Tim Sheehy in Montana and Eric Hovde in Wisconsin.
