DENVER, CO – Americans for Prosperity Action Senior Advisor Jesse Mallory released the following statement on the primary election victory of AFP Action-endorsed candidate Barbara Kirkmeyer in her bid for the state’s 8th Congressional District:

“With skyrocketing inflation and crippling gas prices, voters wanted a candidate who they can trust to rein in out-of-control spending in Washington – and they chose Barbara Kirkmeyer to send that message. We congratulate her on a hard-fought victory.”

BACKGROUND:

In the lead-up to today’s election, AFP Action CO knocked on 42,000 doors and left door hangers, made 72,000 calls, and sent 342,000 total mailers.

Americans for Prosperity Action-Texas today endorsed Monica De La Cruz who is running for the U.S. Congress from the Texas 15^th Congressional District.

De La Cruz received the group’s endorsement based on her support of policies that promote fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, educational freedom, and responsible energy production.

AFP Action will leverage a wide range of tactics, including the country’s largest grassroots outreach and mobilization, a full-time dedicated staff, and trained volunteers to educate and mobilize voters to support De La Cruz’s campaign.

“Monica De La Cruz understands that federal laws and regulations often stand in the way of hardworking men and women who seek the American dream for themselves and their families,” said AFP Action-TX Senior Advisor Mack Morris. “In Congress, De La Cruz will work to undo these policies and regulations and other barriers to opportunity and success.

“De La Cruz will work to prevent the out-of-control spending that is driving inflation and ravaging Texans,” he said. “She will stand with Texans by supporting a wide range of energy policies to promote energy abundance, and Texas parents by supporting policies that expand educational freedom.”

During the 2020 election cycle, AFP Action supported candidates nationwide with more than 8.5 million telephone calls, 1.5 million door knocks, and more than 49 million pieces of mail. AFP Action has unmatched direct voter outreach capability that is supported by a world-class data operation.

Endorses Sen. Jim Boyd and Sen. Jennifer Bradley

Americans for Prosperity Action-Florida (AFP Action-FL) continues its support for Florida legislative candidates with endorsements of State Sen. Jim Boyd (SD-20) and State Sen. Jennifer Bradley (SD-06).

Sen. Boyd and Bradley earned AFP Action’s endorsements based on their support for responsible government regulations and reform efforts that break down regulatory barriers that deny opportunities and limit individual success.

“Sen. Boyd and Bradley understand that government regulations, no matter how well-intentioned, can erect roadblocks to businesses, workers, and families seeking opportunities and pursuing their dreams,” said AFP Action Senior Advisor Skylar Zander. “Re-elected to the State Senate, they will continue to seek reform opportunities to clear the roadblocks and allow people greater freedom to improve their lives and wellbeing.”

BACKGROUND

State Sen. Jim Boyd (SD-20)

Sen. Jim Boyd supports legislation that will get the government out of the way of parents by empowering them to choose education solutions that are best for their children, including charter schools. He also supported telehealth reform to make it easier for Floridians to see a doctor and receive care during a crisis such as COVID or for people who are less mobile and have difficulty leaving their homes for medical care. Sen. Boyd also voted for legislation to save the state pension program by phasing out the old system and allowing new state employees to receive 401(k)-style benefits. In 2020, the state pension system had $36 billion in unfunded liabilities.

State Sen. Jennifer Bradley (SD-06)

Sen. Jennifer Bradley championed legislation that allows restaurants and other food service businesses to sell and deliver alcoholic beverages. This legislation was important to businesses that were struggling to survive during the pandemic and recovery. Upon signing the legislation, Gov. DeSantis thanked Sen. Bradley for her leadership and for being “ready and willing to create common-sense reforms that got government out of the way and increased opportunity for Florida businesses.” Sen. Bradley is also the sponsor of legislation to simplify the regulatory process around mixed-use development and affordable housing.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania—Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz in his race to represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate.

AFP-Action Senior Advisor Ashley Klingensmith gave the following remarks following the announcement.

“Dr. Oz knows what’s ailing Pennsylvania: too much government overreach. As both a physician and a businessman, he’s seen firsthand how government interference makes it increasingly difficult for doctors, patients, business owners, and workers to make a living, access health care, and pursue the American Dream.

“Pennsylvanians are struggling right now. Gas is over $5 a gallon and families can expect to spend an extra $400 or more a month just to maintain their standard of living. Pennsylvania needs a voice in the U.S. Senate calling for fewer top-down mandates and more bottom-up solutions—whether that comes from unleashing Pennsylvania’s energy sector or getting government out of the way of business. Senator Oz will be just what the doctor ordered.”

AFP Action will leverage a wide range of tactics, including the country’s largest grassroots outreach and mobilization, a full-time dedicated staff, and trained volunteers to educate and mobilize voters to support Dr. Oz’s campaign.
