AFP Action Launches New Slate of Testimonial Ads Targeting Career Politicians Casey, Brown, and Baldwin

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.”

New Endorsed Candidates 

Jon Albert (HD-48) 

As a former Marine and Mayor, Jon Albert has the leadership skills needed to serve Florida’s House District 48. Jon knows how important it is to cut taxes to provide relief to his constituents which he did as Mayor. He’ll work on cutting taxes and keeping our budget under control in the Florida House, which is a stark difference from the out-of-control spending in Washington D.C.

State Rep. Doug Bankson (HD-39) 

Rep. Bankson in just one term has shown what it takes to work with other members to achieve lasting policy change. Rep. Bankson will continue to champion educational freedom for all Florida students. He’ll work to cut red tape so Florida businesses and individuals can thrive.

State Rep. Dean Black (HD-15)  

Having just one term under his belt, Rep. Black has been instrumental in Florida’s legislature. He has stood for educational opportunities for Florida’s learners, supported worker’s freedom, and is expected to be a policy champion for needed tax and spending reforms once re-elected.  

State Rep. Vicki Lopez (HD-113) 

Rep. Lopez is the best choice for District 113 as she continues to put the education and safety of Floridians first. In office, she has supported telehealth legislation to expand opportunities in the health care market. And, through Rep. Lopez’s personal story she has become a thoughtful voice on criminal justice reform supporting second chance legislation.

NEW ADS: AFP Action, CVA Action Target Jon Tester’s Failure to Deliver for Montanans

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.”

Not Working | Leader | Promise

“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.
