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.”

“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.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is launching a new million-dollar set of testimonial ads in the Battle Born State highlighting how irresponsible policies supported by Senator Jacky Rosen have hurt Nevada families and businesses.

The Nevada ads are part of a massive $10 million ad buy targeting key the Senate states of Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Inflation in the state is costing the average Nevada family $1,175 more each month. Jacky Rosen has not helped solve the cost-of-living crisis facing Nevadans, instead, she voted for the Biden-Harris Inflation Reduction Act which has not reduced inflation and has cost the average Nevada household $32,544 more since January 2021.

“The ads contrast Nevada’s economic struggles under Jacky Rosen with a new vision for a more prosperous Nevada if Sam Brown is elected to office,” says AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro. “Brown will focus on lowering taxes for Nevada families, cutting spending and reigniting Nevada’s comeback.

“With more than a million voters reached out to in Nevada so far, AFP Action remains laser-focused on bringing Sam Brown’s positive vision for Nevada to voters.”

In the ad “Suffocating,” Lisa E. from Las Vegas says, “The cost of living is out of control, I blame our elected officials. It was not like this even four years ago,” pointing at Jacky Rosen’s lack of action. “Jacky Rosen is nowhere to be found. To me, she’s a big disappointment,” shared Chere P. of Boulder City.

ANCHORAGE, AK – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is proud to announce its endorsement of Nick Begich for Alaska’s at-large congressional seat.

AFP Action is confident there is a path to victory in this race and our team of grassroots staff and volunteers are laser-focused on ensuring Begich is elected come November. This endorsement is part of AFP Action’s “Firewall Strategy” to prevent one-party progressive rule in Washington, DC.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Ramos released the following statement:

“After 35 years in politics, career politician Jon Tester has delivered little for Montana families and it’s clear we can’t afford six more years of his inflationary agenda.

“Tim Sheehy is a solution-driven leader who will fight to get the economy back on track and improve prosperity for Montana families. Sheehy will put Montanans ahead of his party, unlike Tester who claims to be bipartisan and then votes in lockstep with the Biden-Harris administration.”

DENVER, CO – Tonight, State Representative Gabe Evans won the Republican nomination in his bid to face off with Yadira Caraveo for Colorado’s 8th congressional district.

Upon the race call, AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Mallory released the following statement:

“Rep. Caraveo has failed to be an independent voice for Coloradans in Congress. Instead, she’s voted time and again in lockstep with Joe Biden. Coloradans are struggling with high inflation and the skyrocketing cost of living in the state and deserve a leader who will stand up to their party bosses.

“From his time as a police officer to his role in the legislature, State Rep. Gabe Evans has dedicated his life to the service of his community. This dedication to public service will continue in Congress as Rep. Evans has vowed to rein in Washington’s reckless spending and stop the attempts to stifle the American energy industry.

“AFP Action congratulates Rep. Evans on tonight’s victory. As we look to November, AFP Action intends to put the full weight of its grassroots capability behind Evans’ candidacy to unseat Caraveo.”
