LAS VEGAS, NV – Sam Brown convincingly demonstrated the policy differences between himself and Jacky Rosen tonight in a clear debate victory. After the debate, AFP Action is highlighting key takeaways:

• Senator Rosen has failed to secure the southern border and Nevada. Sam Brown will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground and infrastructure along the southern border.
• Rosen backed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which did not lower inflation. Instead, the IRA has resulted in U.S. gas prices increasing by nearly 62%, natural gas prices spiking by more than 40 percent, and included a $250-billion-dollar Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program to fund liberal pet projects. 
• In the debate, Rosen desperately tried to distance herself from the economic failures of the Biden-Harris administration, but she has voted with the president 93% of the time.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro released the following statement:

“Tonight, Nevadans heard from two candidates with very different visions for Nevada’s future.  Jacky Rosen was for all the big government spending that caused the inflation that has harmed Nevada’s economy.  Sam Brown is for common sense: making life more affordable, restoring order to our border, and keeping taxes low.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – Tonight, Jacky Rosen tried to make Nevadans believe she and her party have been strong about securing our southern border, the facts tell another story.  The failure of Biden-Harris and Rosen to secure the border has pushed our resources to the brink, contributing to a crisis at the southern border. Agents are understaffed and in need of increased technology – yet Rosen continued for six years to vote against policies that would strengthen American border security.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro released the following statement:

“Nevadans are troubled about the lack of order and security on the U.S.-Mexico border. They know it is wide open and have seen the deaths caused by the fentanyl our open border allows. But every time Jacky Rosen had an opportunity to do something about it, she instead kowtowed to party bosses and did nothing.  Sam Brown will defend our borders and keep Nevadans safe.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – In tonight’s debate when asked about energy policy, Jacky Rosen attempted to confuse Nevadans about her votes that have caused gas and energy prices to skyrocket.  

Jacky Rosen backed the so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which was actually a green new deal spending monstrosity. Instead of lowering inflation, the IRA has resulted in U.S. gas prices increasing by nearly 62%, natural gas prices spiking by more than 40%, and for good measure included a $250-billion-dollar Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program to fund liberal pet projects.

Jacky Rosen and the Biden-Harris administration have been hostile to American energy. In the Senate, Sam Brown will support energy policies that prioritize American energy jobs and protect consumers. Brown will help empower Nevada’s energy industry and reignite American energy independence.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro released the following statement:

“There is a stark contrast in energy policy between Jacky Rosen and Sam Brown. Brown’s America-first policies prioritize Nevada jobs and consumers while Rosen has rubberstamped the misguided policies of the Biden-Harris administration. Under Rosen, costs have increased dramatically and it’s time for new leadership in Washington.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – In tonight’s debate, Jacky Rosen attempted to confuse voters about her economic record after six years representing them in Washington, DC but Nevadans were not fooled. They know why they are struggling to make ends meet amid record inflation and a cost-of-living crisis, Bidenomics policies that Rosen voted for every step of the way.

Rosen backed the massive spending that led to 40-year high inflation, including the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which did not lower inflation, it poured gasoline on the inflation fire Bidenomics created with even more reckless spending.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro released the following statement:

“Nevadans are hurting under Jacky Rosen’s watch and her lockstep support of Bidenomics has raised the cost of living to unbearable levels for too many Nevada households. Rosen was the tie-breaking vote in the Senate for all of the inflationary policies of the Biden-Harris administration and Nevadans see the results every time they go to the store.”

ANCHORAGE, AK – During tonight’s debate between Mary Peltola and Nick Begich, Peltola claimed she is an independent voice for Alaska in Congress. But Peltola has voted in lockstep with President Biden more than 95% of the time.

Peltola has rubberstamped inflationary spending, tax increases and a crisis at the southern border. Alaskans deserve a member of Congress who will stand up to their party bosses and represent Alaska values – not those of Washington, DC.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Bethany Marcum released the following statement:

“Time and again, Mary Peltola has sided with the most progressive members in her party over Alaskans back home. Peltola has rubberstamped the Biden-Harris agenda that has resulted in high inflation and a cost-of-living crisis in Alaska.

“Alaskans are eager for new, independent leadership that will put Alaska values ahead of party politics. Nick Begich will tackle inflation and secure the southern border, all while putting Alaskans first.”

MISSOULA, MT – In new ads released today, AFP Action and CVA Action are hitting Tester for being the deciding vote on various Biden-Harris administration initiatives and voting with the president more than 94% of the time. The CVA Action ad highlights testimonials from veterans and their families detailing how Tester has failed to deliver for our nation’s heroes.

Inflation-fueling spending, border chaos and tax hikes have all been approved by Jon Tester in Washington, DC. Meanwhile, as chair of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, Tester has failed to deliver for Montana’s veterans.

WATCH Priorities

WATCH Prioritize

AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Ramos released the following statement:

“Jon Tester has time and again sided with his progressive party leaders over Montanans and has rubberstamped the Biden-Harris agenda more than 94% of the time.

“Montanans deserve an independent leader who will fight for Montana priorities and put our interest over Washington bureaucrats. Tim Sheehy will work on day one to tackle inflation and secure the border, all while showcasing Montana values.”

CVA Action Senior Advisor Chris Enget released the following statement:

“Senator Tester has proven he’ll side with Biden’s failed VA bureaucracy over veterans and their health care needs every time. As Chairman of the Senate VA Committee, he’s had ample opportunity to streamline the VA system, support true choice in care, and hold the VA accountable for poor management, but to no avail.

Tim Sheehy on the other hand will take a firm stand for veterans and military families in Montana, honoring our nation’s promise to those who served by removing red tape and empowering veterans to choose when and where they receive their health care.”

DENVER, CO – Border security and immigration are top of mind for many Coloradans as our nation faces an unprecedented crisis at the southern border. But the truth is, Colorado has gotten less safe under the leadership of Yadira Caraveo. 

From the influx of Fentanyl in our communities to the presence of gangs right here in Colorado, Caraveo has failed to protect Coloradans from the border crisis. Under the Biden-Harris administration every state is a border state, and Coloradans deserve a leader like Gabe Evans who will work on day one to secure the southern border. Evans has pledged to increase technology, boots on the ground and infrastructure to help secure the southern border and secure Colorado. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Mallory released the following statement: 

“While her political ads can make it sound like she supported border security, Colorado has gotten less safe under Caraveo’s watch.  

“Gabe Evans has a plan to secure the border and our communities by building a wall and supporting the brave men and women serving with Customs and Border Patrol. A supporter of immigration, Evans wants to make the American Dream achievable right here in Colorado.” 

MISSOULA, MT – Today, AFP Action announced it will support Ryan Zinke’s reelection bid for Montana’s 1st Congressional District.

Ryan Zinke is a trusted policy partner on economic issues benefitting Montana families and small businesses. He will fight to secure Montana and the southern border and defend against the cost-of-living crisis created by the Biden-Harris administration. As an advocate for responsible regulations, Zinke has supported legislation to enact a federal REINS Act and to eliminate onerous regulations for job creators. 

On the endorsement, AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Ramos released the following statement:

“Throughout his time as a U.S. Congressman, Ryan Zinke has always put Montana values ahead of Washington, DC bureaucrats. AFP Action deeply appreciates his leadership on energy, economic and national security issues and looks forward to working alongside him upon his reelection.”

BACKGROUND:

To date this cycle, AFP and AFP Action have reached out to more than 9 million voters — in nearly 650 federal and state races across the country. In close races, one-on-one outreach can be the critical difference. AFP Action’s highly targeted layered approach of doors, phones, mail, and ads is proven to be the most effective way to engage and persuade key voters. Our grassroots teams are out in full force as we head into the final stretch of the campaign this Fall.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) and The LIBRE Initiative Action (LIBRE Action) are endorsing four additional names for election and reelection to the Nevada State Legislature. 

State Sen. Carrie Buck (SD-5), Lori Rogich (SD-11), Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama (AD-2), and Assemblyman Greg Haffen (AD-36) all garnered the endorsement of AFP Action and LIBRE Action for their commitment to increasing opportunities for all Nevadans. These candidates will champion fiscally responsible policies that will help combat the high cost-of-living crisis facing the Battle Born State. 

AFP Action and LIBRE Action, as part of the largest grassroots network in the country, will leverage the full weight of its voter contact capabilities, in addition to direct-mail and digital advertisements, to support these candidates. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro released the following statement: 

“AFP Action and our army of grassroots activists and volunteers are going to be out in force through November to help ensure Buck, Rogich, Kasama and Hafen are elected to the State Legislature. 

“Nevadans are facing an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis and it’s never been more important to elect leaders who will fight to bring down inflation and reignite Nevada’s economy. We look forward to working alongside these candidates upon their election.” 

LIBRE Action Senior Advisor Eddie Diaz released the following statement: 

“The Latino vote is set to be a crucial factor in shaping the outcomes of Nevada elections. This is why LIBRE Action is excited to mobilize Latinos in favor of candidates Buck, Rogich, Kasama, and Hafen. Latinos and all Americans from all backgrounds continue to struggle with an unaffordable economy fueled by ineffective government policies. To move in the right direction, we need these leaders who will champion solutions to expand growth and opportunities in the economy.” 

Endorsed Candidates: 

State Sen. Carrie Buck (SD-5) 

State Sen. Carrie Buck is a trusted leader on school choice in the legislature and brings her experience as a principal of both a charter and a public school to her role. She’s been a fierce advocate for the state’s Opportunity Scholarship and has fought for increased school choice in Nevada. Aside from education, she is a leading voice on health care reforms, sponsoring legislation that lowers licensing requirements for medical professionals. 

Lori Rogich (SD-11) 

As a parent of a child in the public school system, Rogich understands the need for a more personalized approach to education for Nevada’s students and will oppose a one-size-fits-all approach to schooling in the legislature. She will also be a strong advocate for small businesses by cutting burdensome regulations and red tape. 

Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama (AD-2) 

Assemblywoman Kasama has been a strong advocate for expanding Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), recognizing the need for unique and expanded opportunities for Nevada’s students. Additionally, Kasama will fight for health care reform and increase access to Nevadans. 

Assemblyman Greg Haffen (AD-36) 

A dedicated advocate for school choice, Haffen has supported legislation to expand funding and eligibility in Nevada’s educational choice scholarship program. He has consistently opposed job-killing labor proposals like collective bargaining and minimum wage increases.  

MISSOULA, MT – After the debate between Jon Tester and Tim Sheehy, AFP Action is highlighting five key takeaways:

• Senator Tester has failed to secure the southern border and Montana. Tim Sheehy will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground and infrastructure.
• Tester backed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which did not lower inflation. Instead, the IRA has resulted in U.S. gas prices increasing by nearly 62%, natural gas prices spiking by more than 40 percent, and included a $250-billion-dollar Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program to fund liberal pet projects. 
• A vote for Senator Tester is a vote to keep veterans in a broken VA system.
• In the debate, Tester desperately tried to distance himself from the economic failures of the Biden-Harris administration, but he has voted with the president nearly 100% of the time.
• Tim Sheehy will be a man of action and work on day one to get Montana and our country’s economy back on track. Montanans want to turn the page on Tester’s nearly 20 years in Washington, DC.

Senior Advisor Jesse Ramos released the following statement: 

“Tonight, Tim Sheehy shared a vision for a stronger Montana, not more of the economic uncertainty ushered in by the policies of Jon Tester. For nearly 20 years, Jon Tester has said one thing in Montana and voted another way in Washington, DC. Meanwhile, Sheehy has spent his career as a Navy SEAL serving our country. 

“It’s time to turn the page on career-politician Jon Tester and Tim Sheehy is the leader Montanans deserve. A businessman who has created jobs right here in Montana, Sheehy has the experience to reignite the economy.”
