Arlington, VA – As seen in NBC News, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is launching a wave of new ads featuring powerful testimonials from real voters across Pennsylvania, Ohio, Montana, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The $8.75 million campaign focuses on the devastating impacts of inflation and the consequences of failed border security policies backed by Senators Jon Tester (MT), Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey (PA), Tammy Baldwin (WI), and Representative Elissa Slotkin (MI).  

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento issued the following statement on the buy: 

“These Senators have carelessly steered our economy and our country off course by supporting the failed radical progressive agenda of the Biden-Harris administration. The American people deserve better than the finger-pointing and excuses they get from Jon Tester, Jacky Rosen, Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey, Tammy Baldwin, and Elissa Slotkin. As AFP Action speaks with voters across the country, we hear a clear message: they want leadership that prioritizes their economic and border security concerns, not the interests of politicians in Washington, D.C. Yet these Senators refuse to take responsibility and continue to shift the blame. Americans need a new direction and that requires new leadership.” 

The testimonials in the ads are heart-wrenching. Jack K. from Scranton, PA, shares the devastating moment he discovered both of his parents dead from a Fentanyl overdose—a crisis that is growing out of control as a result of weak border security. 18,798 people have been killed by Fentanyl in Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, Aime D. from Canton, Ohio, expresses her despair about the economy: “The American Dream is dangling by a thread.” This sentiment resonates in Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as in Montana, which ranks in the top five for inflation nationwide. Joe F. from Missoula says: “It’s hard to deal with that. You know you have to decide what you have to cut back on what experiences you can’t let your kids have anymore.” 

Simultaneously, the ads present a path forward with Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy, first-generation American Bernie Moreno, business leader David McCormick, entrepreneur Eric Hovde, and former Rep. Mike Rogers—candidates ready to champion policies to reduce inflation, make life more affordable, and secure America’s southern border.

Arlington, VA – AFP Action is launching a new series of testimonial ads highlighting the policy failures of Senators Bob Casey (PA), Sherrod Brown (OH), and Tammy Baldwin (WI). These ads, part of a previously announced $10 million campaign on digital and connected TV platforms, feature real voters expressing their frustration with the reckless spending that has contributed to an extreme cost-of-living crisis. The campaign aims to amplify the voices of constituents calling for a new approach to economic growth and for voters to hold these Senators accountable in November.

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento gave the following statement:

“Americans are increasingly frustrated with the consequences of the irresponsible policies endorsed by Senators Bob Casey, Sherrod Brown, and Tammy Baldwin. Sky-high grocery and gas prices are direct results of the failed Biden-Harris administration. These senators not only supported an economic agenda that negatively impacted millions of American families, but they also promoted it as progress and did nothing to address its adverse effects.”

“It’s time for these senators to stop deflecting blame. A vote for any of these Senators is a vote to continue taking our country in the wrong direction. Voters deserve better leadership, and they believe they will find it in the commonsense solutions and fresh ideas offered by Dave McCormick, Bernie Moreno, and Eric Hovde.”

The voices of the constituents are loud and clear. In Pennsylvania, Heather R. from Pittsburg says, “Dave McCormick knows what we are going through more than Bob Casey, I trust Dave McCormick.” Similarly, in Ohio, Rosalind F. from Cincinnati, shares her concerns over prices with other constituents around the kitchen table: “I feel that this economy and the food prices they’re affecting the working and the middle class, the people that Sherrod Brown said he was going to protect.” And in Wisconsin, Lindsey F. from Sheboygan says, “the cost of living is skyrocketing.”

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.

Arlington, VA – As reported by CBS News, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is launching a massive new wave of ads highlighting how irresponsible policies supported by Senators Jon Tester (MT), Jacky Rosen (NV), Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey (PA), Tammy Baldwin (WI), and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (MI), have hurt our economy, and sent inflation soaring. The new ads will be backed by more than $10 million and air on digital and connected television.

One of the ads focuses on how Senator Bob Casey consistently put his party ahead of the people he represents, voting a staggering 98% with the Biden-Harris big-spending agenda that sent inflation through the roof. The ads also criticize Senators Tester, Rosen, Brown, and Baldwin as well as Rep. Slotkin, who is seeking a promotion, for their support of the $1.2 trillion Inflation Reduction Act, legislation that has cost families across the country an additional $1,000 every month.

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento issued the following statement on the buy:

“These Senators drove our economy over a cliff by voting in lockstep with the Biden-Harris administration’s far-left progressive agenda, and now they want a do-over. Our country cannot afford it. Jon Tester, Jacky Rosen, Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey, Tammy Baldwin, and Elissa Slotkin have consistently sided with their party over their state. Their actions have made life unaffordable for millions of Americans, yet they continue to point the finger at everyone but themselves. Americans don’t need more excuses; they need new leadership. The policies they support make life harder, and it’s time to vote them out.”

At the same time, the ads contrast these failed policies with the promise of a brighter future under leaders like Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy, entrepreneur Eric Hovde, first-generation American Bernie Moreno, experienced former Rep. Mike Rogers, American veteran Sam Brown, and business leader David McCormick. Each of these candidates has committed to championing policies to combat inflation and eliminate needless barriers standing in the way of American businesses and entrepreneurs.
