Raleigh, NC — Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) recently announced its endorsement of Rep. Ted Budd’s re-election to North Carolina’s 13^th Congressional District. Budd earned support for his work in Congress to cut taxes, remove barriers to opportunity and expand access to health care. As an organization, AFP Action is dedicated to supporting candidates based on their active leadership roles on top policy priorities for improving the lives of all Americans.

In a memo to interested parties, AFP Action Senior Advisor Chris McCoy expanded on the endorsement. 

McCoy also issued the following statement:

“In ways large and small, Rep. Budd has worked to reduce taxes at every opportunity, stepping up to pass the historic Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in Congress. In his first year, he also proposed the Reset Act of 2017, which would have allowed Congress to overturn any regulation through a majority vote in both the House and the Senate. He’s also led efforts to develop innovative solutions that lift burdens and expand access to quality, affordable health care by introducing a bill to strengthen short-term, limited-duration health plans.”

“It’s rare to find a representative who so clearly and consistently does what they promised to do. North Carolina can continue to eliminate barriers and expand economic opportunity by re-electing Rep. Ted Budd.”

Major media is taking note of American for Prosperity Action’s expansive plans for the 2020 election.

CNN reported on AFP Action’s efforts in mid-January, highlighting Americans for Prosperity Action Senior Advisor Emily Seidel’s insistence that the group’s focus on creating nonpartisan policy coalitions does not mean it is backing away from electoral politics.

But it is taking a different tack.

“The people who thought that we may have been backing down from politics are going to be surprised, because the reality is we’ve been strengthening our capabilities to go bigger than ever before,” Seidel told CNN. AFP Action plans to be more active in more races in 2020 than ever before.
