Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – After Dave McCormick handily defeated Bob Casey Jr. in the second Pennsylvania Senate Debate, AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“Tonight, Dave McCormick showed Pennsylvanians that he has our back. He knows and understands the issues that we are most concerned about: making life more affordable, restoring order to our border, and keeping taxes low.

“Bob Casey has had nearly 20 years to stand up for Pennsylvania, and at every opportunity, he instead votes for his party and his politically connected allies.

“AFP Action has knocked over 800,000 doors and counting to be sure that Dave McCormick replaces Bob Casey and starts giving Pennsylvanians a real voice in the U.S. Senate.”

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, –In tonight’s Pennsylvania Senate Debate, Dave McCormick made it clear he will embrace an ‘all-of-the-above’ approach to domestic energy production that could propel more economic growth and opportunity in the Commonwealth.

Despite Kamala Harris’s very clear history of advocating for a ban on fracking, Bob Casey refuses to speak out or urge Harris to make her support for U.S. energy abundance clear.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“Pennsylvania has so much energy potential, but it needs to be unleashed by a true energy champion. Dave McCormick isn’t afraid to embrace energy abundance. A true, all-of-the-above approach will not only help reduce operating costs and utility costs for Pennsylvanians, but it will also create more job opportunities in the Keystone State.

“On the other hand, Bob Casey has said little about Pennsylvania’s energy potential or pushed Kamala Harris to commit to unleash energy abundance. The choice is clear, Pennsylvania can choose Dave McCormick’s enthusiastic and transformative energy policy, or they can vote for a senator who only pays lip-service to Pennsylvania’s powerhouse potential.”

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – As Bob Casey Jr. and Dave McCormick square off in the second Pennsylvania Senate debate, AFP Action is reminding voters that Bob Casey votes with the Biden-Harris Administration 98% of the time.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“What does Pennsylvania have to show for Bob Casey’s nearly 20 years in the U.S. Senate? A higher cost of living, a chaotic southern border, a mushrooming national debt, and a Senator who votes with the Biden-Harris Administration 98% of the time.

“The Keystone State deserves a Senator who puts hard-working taxpayers before his party and special interest allies. Dave McCormick promises to be a fresh, bold, new voice in the Senate who will stand up for our state and get the country back on track.”

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – As the Pennsylvania Senate debate turns to immigration policy, Bob Casey refuses to take accountability for his inaction on border security.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene issued the following statement:

“Bob Casey Jr. has been in office nearly 20 years and yet he hasn’t done anything to secure our border—even though tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians have succumbed to the fentanyl overdoses and the opioid epidemic.

“Casey was the deciding vote to kill an amendment that would funded construction of a border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. He also voted against an amendment that would have provided $500 million to fund border security.

“Unlike Casey, Dave McCormick has pledged to take border security seriously. Casey has had his chance. It’s time for new leadership for Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate.”
