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.
