AFP Action Throws Support to Brad Knott in NC Runoff

abarrett on April 9, 2024

Raleigh, North Carolina—Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP-Action) today announced its support for Brad Knott in the runoff election for North Carolina’s 13th congressional district.

The native North Carolinian earned AFP-Action’s support for a policy platform that promises to create more opportunity and economic mobility for the Tarheel State.

AFP-Action Senior Advisor Tyler Voigt issued the following statement after the announcement:

“North Carolinians need to send Brad Knott to Washington to reinforce our congressional delegation’s policy champions. Under President Biden, North Carolinians have suffered a drastic increase in cost of living, higher energy prices, and a sense that the American Dream is slipping away.

“North Carolina didn’t vote for the inflationary policies of ‘Bidenomics’, but they are paying the price. Brad Knott is committed to ending wasteful government spending, unleashing all American energy, and cutting the red tape that makes it harder to work and start businesses. A vote for Knott is a vote to say ‘bye bye’ to Bidenomics.”

AFP Action will be out knocking doors and making phone calls every day between now and the May 14th runoff to supplement its signature layered approach to candidate support.

abarrett on March 20, 2024

LAS VEGAS, NV—Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today endorsed Flemming Larsen in his bid to represent Nevada’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

AFP Action announced last year the organization would be engaging earlier and in more primaries than ever before. Today’s endorsements put that promise into action. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro released the following statement:

“AFP Action is proud to endorse Flemming Larsen in his bid to represent Nevada’s 1st Congressional District. 

“Nevadans are facing the highest inflation and gas prices in the nation, and Dina Titus has failed to bring down the cost of living for her district. For too long, Titus has been a rubber stamp for the failed ‘Bidenomics’ policies of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden that are causing the soaring inflation facing Nevadans. It’s time for new leadership in Washington that will deliver real results to hardworking Nevadans.  

“Larsen will be a strong voice for school choice, economic prosperity and energy independence in Congress, fighting for policies that will empower the Battle Born State. Now more than ever, Nevada needs leaders who will fight back against the progressive agenda of Washington and drive down costs to make the American Dream more achievable.

“AFP Action intends to put the full weight of our grassroots capabilities behind Larsen’s candidacy to ensure he’s elected to the House of Representatives come November.”
