COLUMBUS, OH – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action), today, announced its endorsement of Orlando Sonza for the District 01 House of Representatives seat. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor for Ohio, Donovan O’Neil, released the following statement:    

 “At a time when inflation is at an all-time high, AFP Action is excited to back Orlando Sonza, who has the leadership necessary to improve the lives of all Ohioans. He is a champion of fiscal stewardship, supporting tax reductions and opposing raising the minimum wage. He understands the arduous consequences of ‘Bidenomics,’ and he is committed to implementing policies that will encourage economic growth.   

“As a former military officer and graduate of West Point, Orlando Sonza knows what it takes to keep our nation safe. A son of immigrants, he can speak to the importance of securing the southern border while also working to fix our broken immigration system.  His pursuit to allow safe and legal immigration, as well as his stance on taxes and energy independence, proves that he is prepared to help pass common sense solutions in Washington, D.C. to expand freedom and opportunity for all Americans.”    

Arlington, VA – Americans for Prosperity Action Senior Advisor Emily Seidel made the following statement after tonight’s New Hampshire primary results: 

“Tonight’s results in New Hampshire show that Nikki Haley is closing the gap and that she is the clear alternative for voters who are ready to close the book on the toxic Biden-Trump political era. This is still an uphill battle. Now all eyes turn to South Carolina, where she has a steeper road ahead.  

“For the past several months, we’ve been engaged in races for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and presidential levels to prevent a scenario where one party progressive rule comes to Washington, D.C. at a time when our country can least afford it. If Republicans nominate Donald Trump, we risk a repeat of the past three elections and the very real threat of full progressive control increases dramatically. This is why Joe Biden and the Democrats want him to be the nominee. The stakes for our country simply couldn’t be higher. 

“Our teams will continue talking to South Carolina voters in support of Nikki Haley. We are laser focused on electing the candidates who can be the firewall preventing one party progressive rule of the federal government. We have three ways to win: the Senate, the House, and the presidential primary. Through our multi-pronged effort we are prepared to get this done.   

“I’m proud of our activists’ ongoing efforts. Despite challenging conditions, their support shows that AFP Action consistently takes principled and tough action when our country needs it most.”

 Haley Is the Only Candidate Standing Between Americans and Another Four Years of Biden

Arlington, VA – Americans for Prosperity Action Senior Advisor Emily Seidel made the following statement after tonight’s Iowa caucus results:

“Nikki Haley did exactly what she needed to in Iowa and is in a strong position heading to New Hampshire where it’s a two-person race and she is within striking distance of Trump. Ron DeSantis poured everything he could into Iowa because it was his only shot at changing the dynamics of the race, but the reality is that he’s polling in single digits in New Hampshire and South Carolina with no path forward. We’ve said all along that this is a marathon, not a sprint and Nikki Haley is surging in New Hampshire, where history has shown eventual nominees gain critical momentum into South Carolina and the Super Tuesday states.

“Poll after poll shows that Nikki Haley would crush Joe Biden in a general election, winning some battleground states by double digits and delivering a landslide Republican election that would sweep candidates at every level into office. She is not only able to win, she’s also able to write a new chapter for America and turn the page on the failed policies of the Biden Administration.

“Republicans cannot afford to put control of Washington at risk by nominating Donald Trump – who is by far the weakest candidate against Joe Biden. At a time when millions of Americans are struggling, Nikki Haley is the only candidate who can defeat Biden, unify the nation, and help ensure a brighter future for our country.”

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tyler Raygor said the following:

“Tonight was a strong showing for Haley, and heading into New Hampshire and South Carolina she’s exactly where she needs to be to make this a true two-person race.

“In the past few months, we have spoken with hundreds of thousands of Iowans, 50,000 of whom met our activists on their doorsteps in just the past week, despite the storms.

“But while all eyes have been on Iowa, AFP Action has been speaking to voters throughout the early and Super Tuesday states and reached more than one million voters. This is a marathon and not a sprint – AFP Action is uniquely positioned to continue amplifying Haley’s positive message of a new chapter in American politics.”

AFP Action is helping propel Nikki Haley forward with an unmatched on-the-ground effort and layered mail and digital strategy. In just seven short weeks since endorsing Haley for President, AFP Action has reached out to more than 1 million voters and is putting to use the knowledge acquired from interviews with more than 6 million aligned primary voters through the summer and fall of 2023 to build support for Nikki Haley. One week ago, AFP Action launched a $27 million mail, digital, and grassroots campaign in the early states titled “Strongest” that shows why Nikki Haley is without question the strongest candidate Republicans could run against Joe Biden in November.

AFP Action has hundreds of activists and volunteers out in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Super Tuesday states, and beyond. The energy and enthusiasm AFP Action is hearing at the doors has translated into clear momentum for Haley in the polls. In New Hampshire, AFP Action’s polling shows that Haley has closed a 14-point gap and is now statistically tied with Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup. The Wall Street Journal’s latest polling shows that Haley beats Biden by 17 points in a general election matchup.

Arlington, VA—Americans for Prosperity Action is launching an initial  $27 million mail, digital, and grassroots campaign this week in the states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia focusing on how Nikki Haley is without question the strongest candidate to stop Joe Biden and help elect Republicans up-and-down the ballot across the country.

The campaign’s digital and connected TV ad, titled “Strongest”, highlights that Nikki Haley crushes Joe Biden by double digits in a general election matchup and she even beats him in the swing states that Trump lost in 2020. While poll after poll shows Donald Trump is the weakest candidate against Joe Biden, the numbers show Nikki Haley is by far the strongest candidate to turn the page on the past and beat Joe Biden in November.

WATCH: “Strongest”

Americans for Prosperity Action Director Nathan Nascimento said:

“Nikki Haley is by far the strongest candidate Republicans could run against Joe Biden, and no one else is even close. Nikki Haley would boost Republicans up and down the ballot, with AFP Action’s internal polls showing she is leading Biden in some critical swing states by double digits. With the criminal trials and the negative baggage of Donald Trump, our country can’t risk four more years of Joe Biden. If Republicans want to win in 2024, there is no stronger choice than Nikki Haley for President.”

Since its endorsement, AFP Action has reached out to more than 650,000 voters and is putting to use the knowledge acquired from interviews with more than 6 million Republican primary voters through the summer and fall of 2023 to build support for Nikki Haley. The energy and enthusiasm AFP Action is hearing at the doors has translated into clear momentum for Haley in the polls.
