ATLANTA – Americans for Prosperity Action Georgia (AFP Action GA) today announced its first wave of endorsements of candidates for the Georgia General Assembly.

The organization will leverage a wide range of tactics, including its signature grassroots mobilization, direct mail, and digital advertising, to help endorsed candidates achieve victory during the primary and general elections.

“We are excited to kick off the first in a series of endorsements to help elect men and women who are committed to championing policies that improve the lives of Georgians,” said AFP Action Georgia Senior Advisor Stephen Allison.

“These candidates will be policy champions. In the General Assembly, they will help promote a strong Georgia economy and empower Georgia parents with more options to provide the education that best addresses the individual needs of their children,” he said.

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 capabilities supported by a world-class data operation.

AFP Action is a 527 political action committee focused on electing candidates who will drive policy change and facilitate the building of broad policy coalitions that remove barriers to opportunity and help people improve their lives. The organization has a strong, permanent grassroots presence in Georgia of highly motivated activists who volunteer during the election season by making telephone calls and knocking on doors in support of policy champions.

The candidates were selected for their commitment to advancing positive policies that put the people’s interests above special interests and break down barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential.

Background

 

Rep. Steve Chabot has been a champion of fiscal and anti-inflationary policies that promote growth and opportunity. He has consistently supported tax cuts for individuals, families, and businesses, including support for the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and death tax repeal, which would end the tax costs associated with passing businesses and farms to the next generation. Rep. Chabot has been a steady advocate for reducing unnecessary and wasteful government spending, including his 2021 vote against the budget-busting Build Back Better spending plan.

 

Rep. Chabot puts the taxpayers’ interest over the special interests. He has been an outspoke advocate for eliminating the Export-Import Bank, one of the nation’s largest corporate welfare programs and a source of corruption and cronyism. The Ex-Im Bank pits U.S. businesses against each other and doles out taxpayer dollars to some of the world’s largest companies.

 

Rep. Chabot supported criminal justice reforms that provide second chances for deserving individuals. In 2018, Rep. Chabot support the bipartisan First Step Act that reformed the federal criminal justice system by improving sentencing rules, addressing poor prison conditions, helping more people earn second chances, and enhancing transparency and accountability in the justice system. Rep. Chabot voted for the EQUAL Act that would end the sentencing disparity.
