AFP Action Congratulates Ashley Hinson on Primary Election Victory

DES MOINES, IA — Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today congratulated Congresswoman Ashley Hinson on her victory in the Republican primary election to represent Iowa in the U.S. Senate. 

After the win, AFP Action Senior Advisor Tyler Raygor released the following statement: 

“AFP Action congratulates Congresswoman Ashley Hinson on earning the trust and support of Iowa voters in today’s primary election. From the outset of this race, AFP Action was proud to support Hinson because of her consistent record of advancing policies that expand opportunity, limit government overreach and empower individuals and families to thrive. 

“Hinson has demonstrated principled leadership and a clear commitment to fiscal responsibility, economic freedom and removing barriers that hold back hardworking Iowans. Her ability to build consensus and deliver results reflects the kind of leadership needed in Washington. 

“As the campaign moves forward, we are confident Hinson will continue to champion policies that promote growth, innovation and prosperity for all Americans. AFP Action looks forward to supporting her in the general election and working alongside her to advance solutions that create a stronger future for Iowa and the country.” 

AFP Action endorsed Hinson in early May, citing her track record of advocating for lower taxes, reduced regulatory burdens, and policies that support job creation and economic growth, as well as her commitment to accountability and limited government. 

Today, AFP Action announced a $6.3 million ad blitz into 2026 Senate states, including Iowa. The campaign highlights the rising cost of living — groceries, gas, and everyday goods — and elevates Hinson’s pro-growth solutions to address the problem.

New AFP Action Ad Highlights How Roy Cooper’s Policies Would Make Life More Expensive for North Carolinians 

RALEIGH, NC  – As first reported by Politico, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced a $6.3 million ad buy in six U.S. Senate battleground states, including North Carolina. The ads focus on cost-of-living policies, including how Roy Cooper’s energy policies as governor would have cost the average North Carolina family $434 more in electricity costs a year. In contrast, Michael Whatley will support policies that unleash American energy and in turn lower the cost of living.

AFP Action senior advisor for North Carolina Tyler Voigt released the following statement:

“Roy Cooper will put his party’s progressive agenda over commonsense solutions to address cost-of-living issues that are hurting North Carolina families. As governor, he vetoed tax cuts that put more money back in the pockets of North Carolinians. Roy Cooper would be more of the status quo in Washington, putting his party’s agenda first. 

“Michael Whatley is tired of Washington’s gridlock and career politicians failing the people who elected them. Whatley has a plan to lower taxes, cut spending, and unleash American energy. Whatley will put North Carolina families first.”

AFP Action Endorses Ashley Hinson for U.S. Senate 

DES MOINES, IA— Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced its endorsement of Ashley Hinson for U.S. Senate. A longtime policy champion for sister organization Americans for Prosperity, Hinson has fought for Iowans in the U.S. House of Representatives, securing policy wins on right-to-work issues and consistently advocating for the REINS Act

Tyler Raygor, AFP Action Senior Advisor, issued the following statement: 

“AFP Action is proud to endorse Ashley Hinson in her bid to represent Iowa in the U.S. Senate. A former state representative, congresswoman, mother and life-long Iowan, Hinson deeply understands our communities and will continue to fight for the future of our state. 

“Hinson approaches issues in Congress with a clear commitment to free-market principles and limited government. Throughout her time as a public servant, Hinson has worked to balance the budget, cut taxes, and protect the most vulnerable.” 

AFP Action will deploy its full grassroots infrastructure in support of Hinson’s campaign, including door-to-door voter engagement, targeted outreach, and data-driven voter contact efforts.

AFP Action Endorses Kurt Alme for U.S. Senate 

MISSOULA, MT — Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced its endorsement of Kurt Alme for the United States Senate, backing a proven leader with a record of delivering results and advancing policies rooted in economic freedom, limited government, and accountability. 

Jesse Ramos, AFP Action Senior Advisor, issued the following statement: 

“Kurt Alme has a proven track record in tax policy, budgeting, public safety, and public service. He approaches these issues with a clear commitment to free-market principles and limited government. Just as important, his record shows he knows how to turn those principles into results. That’s why AFP Action is proud to support Kurt Alme for U.S. Senate.” 

Alme brings a results-driven background to the race. As Montana’s former U.S. Attorney under President Trump, he led efforts to combat violent crime, drug trafficking, and public corruption across the state. In the private sector, Alme’s work at Crowley Fleck provided firsthand experience with the real-world impact of regulation and federal policy on businesses and job creators. 
 
As Gov. Martz’s Revenue Director, Kurt Alme helped implement the largest income tax cut in Montana’s modern history—reducing the top rate by roughly 37% and simplifying the system. At a time when rising federal spending is driving inflation and making it harder for Montana families to get ahead, that kind of leadership matters. Alme has a proven record of keeping taxes low, reining in spending, and advancing policies that put more money back in the pockets of hardworking Montanans. 

This race will determine whether Montana continues to lead on pro-growth policies — low taxes, responsible spending, energy development, and regulatory restraint — or whether we drift toward the same top-down, government-heavy approach that has driven up costs and limited opportunity across the country. 

Kurt Alme offers a clear approach— disciplined, limited government, strong economic growth, and the freedom for Montanans to build their own future without interference from Washington. 

AFP Action will deploy its full grassroots infrastructure in support of Alme’s campaign, including door-to-door voter engagement, targeted outreach, and data-driven voter contact efforts. Early engagement will be critical in a race that will help shape the direction of the country for years to come.
