Ryan Voted Against Securing the U.S.-Mexico Border

AFP Action on October 16, 2024

Poughkeepsie, NY – Americans for Prosperity Action is calling out Pat Ryan for attempting to cover up his voting record when it comes to securing our southern border.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ross Connolly made the following statement:

“Pat Ryan may claim he cares about protecting our communities, but his actions say otherwise. He’s voted against measures, such as H.R.2, the “Secure Border Act,” that would combat the flow of illegal drugs and crime coming through the southern border and threatening our communities.

“Because of politicians like Pat Ryan failing to take action, every state has become a border state. Esposito will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground, and infrastructure that will not only secure our southern border but secure our state and our country.”

Esposito Bests Ryan in Second Debate

AFP Action on October 16, 2024

Poughkeepsie, NY – After Alison Esposito beat Pat Ryan in yet another debate, AFP Action is pointing out some key takeaways:

Pat Ryan may attempt to separate himself from President Biden, but he is just another rubber-stamp for the Biden-Harris administration and has voted with the president 100% of the time.
Pat Ryan voted against H.R.2, the “Secure the Border” Act of 2023 and has failed to secure our southern border.
Alison Esposito is the leader New York needs to get our economy back on track, cut taxes, reduce the cost of living, and protect our communities.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ross Connolly released the following statement:

“Tonight, Alison Esposito once again made clear that she is the best choice to represent the Hudson Valley in the U.S. Congress.

“While Pat Ryan may talk a big game, his voting record tells a different story. He has voted with the president 100% of the time, enabling the disastrous agenda responsible for our cost-of-living crisis and catastrophe at the southern border.

“New Yorkers deserve a leader who will deliver real results, and Alison Esposito is ready to secure our border, protect our communities, and address the cost-of-living crisis head-on. It’s time to turn the page on Pat Ryan and choose a real leader like Alison Esposito.”

George Logan Bests Jahana Hayes in Waterbury Debate

AFP Action on October 10, 2024

Waterbury, CT – After last night’s debate between George Logan and Rep. Jahana Hayes, AFP Action is highlighting three key takeaways:

Rep. Jahana Hayes has failed to secure the southern border and protect Connecticut, George Logan will fight to keep our country and community safe.
Rep. Jahana Hayes has failed to own her economic failures, and she must be held accountable for supporting the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous policies.
George Logan will take action on day one to lower taxes, reduce spending, and cut red tape to get Connecticut’s economy back on track.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ross Connolly released the following statement:

“Connecticut needs a leader like George Logan, and last night he delivered exactly what he’s going to do to make Connecticut the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

“Rep. Hayes has supported the inflationary policies and reckless spending that has caused the economic disaster our state is experiencing. Logan is ready to clean up the mess caused by Rep. Hayes’ broken policies, secure our southern border, and restore prosperity for CT-05.”

Hudson Valley, NY – After tonight’s the debate between Alison Esposito and Pat Ryan, AFP Action is highlighting three key takeaways:

Pat Ryan has failed to secure the southern border and New York, Alison Esposito will fight to keep our country and community safe.
Pat Ryan has failed to own his economic failures and he must be held accountable for enabling the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous policies.
Alison Esposito will take action on day one to get New York and our country’s economy back on track. New Yorkers want to turn the page for NY-18 and usher in a new era of economic growth.

Senior Advisor Ross Connolly released the following statement:

“Tonight, Alison Esposito shared a vision for a stronger and safer New York, not more of the economic uncertainty ushered in by the broken policies of Pat Ryan.

“It’s time to turn the page on Pat Ryan for NY-18, and Alison Esposito is the leader New Yorkers deserve. A former law enforcement officer, Esposito has the experience needed to secure the border, protect our communities, and reignite the economy.”

AFP Action Targets Key Senators Failures in New Ads for Out-of-Touch Policies Resulting in “Unbearable Costs”

AFP Action on August 26, 2024

Arlington, VA – AFP Action is rolling out a new series of testimonial ads calling out the policy failures and reckless spending of Senators Jon Tester (MT), Sherrod Brown (OH), and Bob Casey (PA), leading to the worst cost of living crisis in a generation. The ads are part of an existing $3.5 million buy across digital and connected TV platforms and feature the voices of real voters bearing the brunt of the harmful policies driving inflation.

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento gave the following statement:

“Americans are facing record-high prices at the grocery store and gas pumps, a direct result of the failed Biden-Harris policies supported by Senators Jon Tester, Sherrod Brown, and Bob Casey.

“Each of these career politicians are responsible for record high inflation that is harming everyday Americans. They are out of touch and disconnected from how people are suffering from their failures. Voters deserve better and are ready for the commonsense solutions and fresh leadership of Tim Sheehy, Bernie Moreno, and Dave McCormick to get the job done.”

The ads in Pennsylvania emphasize the desire for leaders who understand the fundamentals of a successful economy and reject the Inflation Reduction Act as ineffective. These voters are concerned that their Senators have been in Washington, D.C., for too long and are now out of touch with their constituents’ needs.

Similarly, the ads in Montana and Ohio express concerns about the current cost of living crisis and the dangers of continuing the downward spiral of a failed economy and what that could mean for future generations. As Jill H., a voter from Missoula, Montana, said, “I’m worried about where our country is going and I’m worried that my kids are going to grow up in a world that is vastly different from the one I grew up in.”

AFP Action’s Latest $1.25M Ad Buy Highlights Real Wisconsin Voters Betrayed by Tammy Baldwin

AFP Action on August 9, 2024

Madison, WI – This week, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) highlights real Wisconsin voters suffering the severe consequences of Tammy Baldwin’s relentless support of radical spending policies in a $1.25 million ad buy airing across the Badger State.

“Tammy Baldwin spent a trillion dollars on the Inflation Reduction Act. It did not help us.” – Jackie B., Tigerton, WI

“When you need to fix the economy, you take it to a businessman. He understands what it takes to be successful” – Bobbie S., Sheboygan, WI

The Wisconsin ads feature testimonials of real Wisconsin voters who feel betrayed by Tammy Baldwin’s support of radical spending policies directly responsible for high inflation and rising costs. These voters are calling for real change and share why they believe Eric Hovde is the problem-solving leader who can help reignite Wisconsin’s economy.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Megan Novak made the following statement:

“Career politician Tammy Baldwin continues to fail Wisconsinites. Her relentless support of reckless government spending and lockstep voting record with the Biden-Harris administration is directly responsible for the economic uncertainty, high inflation, and rising costs burdening Wisconsinites today.”

“Eric Hovde is the problem-solving leader that Wisconsinites need. As a businessman, he understands the issues and promises to cut spending, remove costly regulations, and unleash American energy independence. Hovde is committed to representing Wisconsin and determined to work hard to get our economy back on a path to prosperity.”

The ads are part of a major $5.75 million ad buy targeting key Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
