AFP Action Senior Advisor Tyler Voigt gave the following statement after the race was called for Harrigan:
“AFP Action was proud to back Pat Harrigan and help bring him across the finish line.

Arlington, VA—Today Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) released a new set of ads supporting endorsed U.S. Senate candidates in Nevada and Pennsylvania.
The $1.6 million ad buy in Nevada and Pennsylvania highlights candidates both Sam Brown and Dave McCormick as lawmakers with a history of service and the grit to vote for meaningful border security, energy abundance, and an end to Washington’s inflationary spending.
AFP Action Senior Advisor for Nevada Ronnie Najarro gave the following statement:
“For too long, Jacky Rosen has chosen to side with Chuck Schumer and her party bosses over Nevada’s best interests.
“A decorated veteran and life-long public servant, Sam Brown will be the U.S. Senator that the Battle Born State deserves. Brown has expressed his dedication to combat skyrocketing inflation and cost-of-living increases and is the best candidate to defeat Jacky Rosen this November.”
A second set of ads in Pennsylvania targets incumbent Senator Bob Casey, who over a 17-year career in Washington has voted to kill Pennsylvania jobs, expanded the national debt, and allowed fentanyl to pour in through the southern border. The ad’s closing line suggests that Casey deserves a pink slip, not another term.
AFP Action Senior Advisor for Pennsylvania Ashley Klingensmith gave the following statement:
“Pennsylvanians need a new leader in the Senate. Dave McCormick understands where inflation comes from: runaway government spending. He’s ready to be part of the solution by putting an end to Washington waste.
“Senator Casey is hoping that his terrible record of representing Pennsylvania voters will go unnoticed, but the fact is Pennsylvanians are reminded every day at the grocery store and at the gas pump. The Keystone State is full of economic potential, but the American Dream is out of reach for so many because Casey continues to vote against the interests of Pennsylvanians. Dave McCormick experience positions him to better advance economic opportunity for Pennsylvanians from Pitt to Philly and everywhere in between.”
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO—Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today endorsed Jeff Crank in his bid to represent Colorado’s 5th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Mallory released the following statement:
“AFP Action is engaging in this race because Jeff Crank is a conservative patriot and the best candidate to serve the people of Colorado’s 5th Congressional District.
“Crank has always put people ahead of politics and has been a relentless advocate for Colorado taxpayers. He understands that Coloradans are sick and tired of economic uncertainty and rising inflation and has the experience and depth of knowledge to enact substantive policy change in Washington, DC.
“A true conservative, Crank will fight for fiscal restraint and American energy abundance in Congress.
“AFP Action intends to put the full weight of our grassroots capabilities behind Crank’s candidacy to ensure he’s elected to the House of Representatives come November.”

MADISON, WI – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced support for Eric Hovde’s bid for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin.
AFP Action is getting involved earlier than ever before in federal and state primaries to elect better candidates who are strong advocates for policies that will improve the lives of all Americans.
Megan Novak, AFP Action Senior Advisor, issued the following statement:
“AFP Action is excited to back Eric Hovde, a candidate who will fight for economic freedom and policies that put our nation back on a path toward prosperity. As Americans struggle to make ends meet under Biden’s failing economy, career politicians like Tammy Baldwin and her support for runaway spending and inflationary policies are to blame. The economy is at the front of mind for voters this year and Eric Hovde is the leader Wisconsinites are looking for. One that puts Americans first, unleashes energy production, and fights for a more competitive economy that ensures opportunity for all.
“Wisconsinites cannot afford the Biden-Baldwin partnership any longer. That is why AFP Action is ready to put its full weight of grassroots capabilities behind Hovde, a candidate who can help lead our country forward and win.”

SPRINGFIELD, IL —Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today endorsed Chris Balkema and Regan Deering in their bids for the Illinois State Senate and State House of Representatives. Balkema is in Illinois’ 53rd Senate District, and Deering is in Illinois’ 88th House District.
AFP Action announced last year the organization would be engaging earlier and in more primaries than ever before. Today’s endorsements put that promise into action.
AFP Action Senior Advisor Jason Heffley released the following statement:
“Chris Balkema has spent the past 13 years on the Grundy County Board, where he worked to relieve the impacts of rising inflation and high living costs facing Illinois families. A former businessman, Chris deeply understands the importance of a thriving, bottom-up economy – and has the experience to enact real reform in Springfield.
“Regan Deeringhas a proven track record of serving her and fighting to create a more prosperous state. Illinoisans are in some of the toughest economic times since the 2008 recession – and Deering has vowed to be an advocate in the legislature to reign in Springfield’s reckless spending.
“AFP Action’s strong grassroots organization throughout the state will be focused on making Chris Balkema and Regan Deering the Land of Lincoln’s newest legislators come November.”
MISSOULA, MT – Today, AFP Action released a new seven-figure spend ad campaign highlighting Jon Tester’s lockstep voting record with Joe Biden and his failure to stand up for Montanans. In contrast, additional AFP Action ads highlight Tim Sheehy as a political outsider who will fight to secure the southern border, battle inflation, and unleash American energy abundance.
Jon Tester has spent 18 years in the Senate – and now votes with President Biden 91% of the time, proving time and again he’ll choose his party bosses over Montanans. Among other failures for the state, Tester was the deciding vote to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline in the Senate, costing the state countless well-paying jobs.
The ads urge voters to move past Senator Tester, saying, “We must do better. Turn the page on Senator Jon Tester.”
Montanans are facing the greatest economic uncertainty since the great recession of 2008. Rising inflation has led to rising living costs, making life more and more unaffordable. Tester has spent nearly 20 years in the Senate and hasn’t delivered for Big Sky Country. In contrast, Sheehy is a decorated veteran and creator of thousands of jobs in the state. Montana deserves a senator as independent as the state – and a political outsider like Tim Sheehy is the best candidate to defeat Jon Tester this November.
AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Ramos released the following statement:
“These ads signify AFP Action’s dedication to defeating Senator Tester this November – Tester has been a rubber stamp for his party bosses for too long. It’s time for Montana to turn the page on Tester like he’s turned his back on us time and again. Montana can’t afford six more years of the disastrous Tester-Biden agenda.
“That’s why AFP Action is backing conservative outsider Tim Sheehy for U.S. Senate. Sheehy will fight for Montana just like he fought or our country. His commitment to securing the border, combatting inflation, reining in spending, and tapping America’s limitless energy potential represents a new chapter for Montana and stands in stark contrast to the far-left progressive agenda that Tester has fully embraced.”
DENVER, CO —Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today endorsed Jeff Hurd and State Representative Gabe Evans in their bids for the U.S. House of Representatives. Hurd is in Colorado’s 3rd congressional district, and Rep. Evans is in Colorado’s new 8th congressional district.
AFP Action announced last year the organization would be engaging earlier and in more primaries than ever before. Today’s endorsements put that promise into action.
AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Mallory released the following statement:
“A first-time candidate who deeply understands his community, AFP Action believes Jeff Hurd to be the candidate that should take over the newly open 3rd congressional district. Hurd acknowledges the need to combat inflation and cost-of-living increases in Colorado and emphasizes the need for a secure southern border with increased technology, infrastructure, and boots on the ground.
“Representative Gabe Evans has a track record of serving his community – whether in the State House or as a former police officer. Coloradans are facing rate increase upon tax increase – and Rep. Evans has vowed to be an advocate in Congress to reign in Washington’s reckless spending and stop the attempts to stifle the American energy industry. Rep. Evans is the best candidate to defeat Yadira Caraveo in a general election.
“AFP Action’s strong grassroots organization throughout the state will be focused on making Jeff Hurd and Rep. Gabe Evans Colorado’s newest congressmen come November.”
Scranton, Pennsylvania—Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced its support for Rob Bresnahan’s bid to represent Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District in Congress.
Owner of a local construction business, Bresnahan is prepared to advocate for policies that make it easier to start and grow businesses in the Keystone State, including cutting unnecessary red tape, keeping taxes low, unleashing domestic energy, and ending wasteful government spending that drives up inflation.
This is the fourth endorsement the grassroots super PAC has made in Pennsylvania for the 2024 election cycle. In 2023, AFP Action endorsed Pennsylvania State Reps. Ryan Mackenzie and Rob Mercuri for U.S. House and businessman Dave McCormick for U.S. Senate.
After announcing the latest endorsement, AFP Action Senior Advisor Ashley Klingensmith gave the following statement:
“For too long, Pennsylvanians have had lackluster representation in Congress. Instead of listening to constituents’ top priorities, Representatives like Matt Cartwright have advanced an agenda that grows government, grows the national debt, and grows onerous regulations that depress the economy. It’s time for new leadership in Congress and Rob Bresnahan will be part of a new generation of lawmakers in the Pennsylvania delegation that will turn the page on the status quo in Washington.”
Indianapolis, IN – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action), today, announced its endorsement of Chuck Goodrich for the District 05 House of Representatives seat.
AFP Action Senior Advisor for Indiana, Josh Webb, released the following statement:
“We are thrilled to endorse Chuck Goodrich for U.S. Congress. As a responsible and pragmatic state legislator, Goodrich has consistently championed initiatives that prioritize the well-being of his constituents. At a time when inflation is at its highest, his tireless efforts to reduce unnecessary regulations and ensure fiscal accountability showcase his commitment to creating an economy that fosters innovation and prosperity.
“Additionally, Goodrich prioritizes securing the border to ensure the safety of all Americans. AFP Action recognizes the importance of endorsing candidates who share our vision for a society in which individuals can flourish and prosper. Chuck Goodrich embodies these principles, and we are confident that his continued service will contribute to the advancement of policies that empower all Hoosiers and foster economic growth in America.”
