Atlanta, Georgia—Americans for Prosperity Action today announced its backing of Sean Knox in the special election to replace the late Representative Richard Smith in Georgia’s 139th House District.
The local businessman and first-time candidate earned AFP Action’s support for education freedom, regulatory reform, and advancing health care policies that create a personal option for Georgians.
After announcing the endorsement, AFP Action Senior Advisor Tony West gave the following statement:
“AFP Action is excited to endorse Sean Knox in this special election. Georgians are ready for the General Assembly to adopt transformative policy. By ensuring that Sean Knox makes it across the finish line next month, Georgians will be that much closer to securing education freedom, economic opportunity, and health care reforms that will make the Peach State a freer and more affordable place to live, work, and raise a family.”
Raleigh, North Carolina—Tonight, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) endorsed candidate Pat Harrigan won the Republican nomination to represent North Carolina’s 10th congressional district.
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. North Carolina’s 10th Congressional District has had fabulous representation with outgoing Representative Patrick McHenry. With Pat Harrigan on the ballot in November, North Carolinians will continue to have a representative who champions sound policy and bucks the status quo in Washington.
“I want to thank every member of our grassroots community who knocked doors and made phone calls to support Harrigan in this primary.”

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 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:
“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.”
