Concord, NH – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFPA) Senior Advisor Sarah Scott’s statement following the New Hampshire Democrat Senate debate:  

“Chris Pappas and Karishma Manzur used the debate as a chance to see who could promise more to voters, and it was a clear view of what direction they’d take New Hampshire if elected senator. The Granite State has worked too hard to become one of the freest states in the country for it to be threatened by progressive policies.  

“Pappas wants voters to forget his record. He voted against the largest tax cut working New Hampshire families have seen in years, and his own primary opponent called him out for sitting on issues instead of doing the job himself. Pappas hasn’t stood up for Granite Staters. He’s stood in their way. 

“John Sununu offers a different path forward: one where Washington gets out of the way, lets businesses grow instead of taxing and regulating them, and stays out of families’ decisions regarding their child’s education. Granite Staters want a leader who will stand up for their right to make those calls themselves, not one who defaults to Washington every time. Sununu is that leader who is focused on ensuring the Granite State remains free.”

Concord, NH – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced an $850,000 ad buy in support of John Sununu. The ad, “Party Line,” contrasts Sununu’s record of fiscal discipline and independent leadership with Chris Pappas’ record of falling in step with Democrats’ tax-and-spend agenda that has driven up costs for Granite State families.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott said the following:

“Granite Staters expect Washington to stay out of their paychecks, their energy choices, and their kids’ futures. Chris Pappas has spent seven years in Washington doing the opposite, rubber stamping liberal policies like the Inflation Reduction Act, causing families and businesses to keep less of what they earn. We just saw in Michigan the direction that the Democrat party has been moving in for years solidified with the nomination of a DSA-backed candidate, which directly threatens the New Hampshire Advantage. Chris Pappas needs to answer whether he stands with that agenda or against it, because seven years of rubber-stamp votes already suggest an answer.

“New Hampshire needs a Senator who will work for them, not one who works for his party. John Sununu is that independent voice who is focused on delivering policies that will solidify freedom and opportunity, improve Granite Staters’ way of life, and ensure Washington doesn’t get in the way.“

Chris Pappas has voted with Democrats 94 percent of the time, despite casting himself as a bipartisan problem solver, the same gap a new memo from AFP Action Executive Director Nathan Nascimento warns is showing up across the country.

Concord, NH – Last week, U.S. Senate candidate Chris Pappas told a national television audience on MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” that a Democrat-controlled Senate would block the current tax rates from being extended. For New Hampshire, that means families would have paid an additional $3,472 a year. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott released the following statement: 

“Chris Pappas confirmed he’s running for a Senate majority whose own agenda would let Americans’ taxes go back up. That’s $3,472 a year for the average Granite State family if those rates expire, which he voted against extending. New Hampshire families need a senator who fights to lower their costs, not one who votes to raise them, and that senator is John Sununu. 

“Sununu has a record of fighting to cut taxes, reining in wasteful federal spending, and reducing regulatory burdens on New Hampshire small businesses. AFP Action is proud to stand behind Sununu, who is committed to lowering costs and will restore common sense policymaking to Washington.”

Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) has led the charge in holding Pappas accountable on affordability, including its July ad campaign spotlighting Pappas’ record of putting Washington over Granite Staters. 

Concord, NH – Following an energized canvassing blitz this past weekend, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced the launch of new ads supporting U.S. Senate candidate John Sununu, expanding its commitment to electing leaders with proven records. This announcement is part of a major $3.25 million ad buy across six key U.S. Senate battlegrounds—New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, and Montana—as part of a layered strategy to reach voters early with a message grounded in substance.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott said the following:

“Between our expanding canvassing efforts and this latest digital push, AFP Action is all-in on reaching voters where they are, reinforcing the ‘Live Free or Die’ values that define New Hampshire and the leadership John Sununu brings to uphold them. 

“AFP Action is excited to continue expanding our grassroots efforts behind Sununu to ensure he is representing the values of New Hampshire in Washington. Voters have a clear choice with a candidate like Sununu—he is committed to limited government, individual freedom, and the policies that empower Granite Staters to thrive.”

Concord, NH – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced today a new ad campaign for John Sununu, highlighting his character that the Granite State knows well. The significant six-figure ad buy focuses on Sununu’s record of delivering results and his ability to break through gridlock and lead with a steady, results-driven approach. The ad underscores a simple message: in New Hampshire, reputation is earned over time.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott issued the following statement:

“New Hampshire voters do not need an introduction when it comes to John Sununu. We have seen his strong record and principled leadership firsthand, and now more than ever, we need leaders like Sununu who are consistent, accountable, and willing to stand up for the Granite State. This campaign is a reminder that you can’t rewrite a record when it’s politically convenient. Granite Staters have already lived through it, and they remember it. That is why AFP Action is proud to support and highlight Sununu because his record is proven, his leadership is tested, and New Hampshire knows he can deliver results when it matters most.”

Background on AFP Action Endorsed Candidate John Sununu:   

John Sununu brings a legacy of principled leadership to drive real results for New Hampshire. As a former Congressman and Senator representing New Hampshire, Sununu spent 12 years in Washington fighting to rein in government overreach, cut taxes, and reduce wasteful spending. His work in regulatory reform helped streamline federal bureaucracy and protect small businesses from burdensome rules. Sununu’s commitment to limited government and fiscal discipline reflects the values Granite Staters care about most — accountability, efficiency, and economic freedom. He’s ready to return to Washington and ensure New Hampshire families keep more of what they earn, while restoring common sense to federal policymaking.
