ICYMI: The Hill: AFP Action Launches “Closing Argument” Ads in Five Battleground Senate Races

yalbalate on October 15, 2026

ARLINGTON, VA — With early voting underway and Election Day weeks away, AFP Action is putting a new round of ads on the air in five key Senate battlegrounds. The Hill has the details:

Key points:

  • AFP Action launched a new slate of “closing argument” ads in Alaska, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire and Ohio, urging voters to choose Republican candidates over socialism.
  • The ads began airing on cable this week and are part of AFP Action’s previously announced $22+ million campaign supporting its endorsed candidates: Dan Sullivan (AK), Ashley Hinson (IA), Mike Rogers (MI), John Sununu (NH) and Jon Husted (OH).
  • The message of each ad is delivered direct-to-camera from a kitchen table acknowledging high costs, but arguing that the embrace of socialism, and policies like a government takeover of healthcare, open borders, and defunding police, is not the answer.
  • The ads continue AFP Action’s push in the final weeks to draw a stark contrast with socialist policies, alongside its grassroots program of door-knocking and voter contact in these same states.

ICYMI: AFP Action Launches $5.3 Million Ad Campaign Across Battleground Senate Races

NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 9/10/2026

ARLINGTON, VA. – In case you missed it — AFP Action, as reported by the Washington Examiner, has launched another seven-figure digital ad campaign supporting AFP Action-endorsed candidates ahead of the 2026 midterms. The campaign features 11 ads running across Alaska, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Ohio, with a total investment of $5.3 million spread across digital and connected TV platforms.

From the article:

The ads overwhelmingly tie Democratic candidates to the “extreme policies” of the Democratic Socialists of America, in contrast to Republicans’ “pocketbook solutions,” including tax cuts, unleashed energy production, and reining in reckless spending.

“Democratic socialism is dragging the whole party toward higher taxes, bigger government, and an all-out war on American energy,” AFP Action executive director Nathan Nascimento told the Washington Examiner. “If these candidates won’t stand up to their own party now, how do you think they’ll vote when the real pressure is on? Americans have a clear choice this fall — a government that controls you, or one that empowers you. Socialism’s empty promises only lead to poverty and suffering. Freedom is what truly delivers lower costs and a better life.”
