Ryan Voted Against Securing the U.S.-Mexico Border

AFP Action on October 16, 2024

Poughkeepsie, NY – Americans for Prosperity Action is calling out Pat Ryan for attempting to cover up his voting record when it comes to securing our southern border.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ross Connolly made the following statement:

“Pat Ryan may claim he cares about protecting our communities, but his actions say otherwise. He’s voted against measures, such as H.R.2, the “Secure Border Act,” that would combat the flow of illegal drugs and crime coming through the southern border and threatening our communities.

“Because of politicians like Pat Ryan failing to take action, every state has become a border state. Esposito will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground, and infrastructure that will not only secure our southern border but secure our state and our country.”

Esposito Bests Ryan in Second Debate

AFP Action on October 16, 2024

Poughkeepsie, NY – After Alison Esposito beat Pat Ryan in yet another debate, AFP Action is pointing out some key takeaways:

Pat Ryan may attempt to separate himself from President Biden, but he is just another rubber-stamp for the Biden-Harris administration and has voted with the president 100% of the time.
Pat Ryan voted against H.R.2, the “Secure the Border” Act of 2023 and has failed to secure our southern border.
Alison Esposito is the leader New York needs to get our economy back on track, cut taxes, reduce the cost of living, and protect our communities.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ross Connolly released the following statement:

“Tonight, Alison Esposito once again made clear that she is the best choice to represent the Hudson Valley in the U.S. Congress.

“While Pat Ryan may talk a big game, his voting record tells a different story. He has voted with the president 100% of the time, enabling the disastrous agenda responsible for our cost-of-living crisis and catastrophe at the southern border.

“New Yorkers deserve a leader who will deliver real results, and Alison Esposito is ready to secure our border, protect our communities, and address the cost-of-living crisis head-on. It’s time to turn the page on Pat Ryan and choose a real leader like Alison Esposito.”

AFP Action Endorses Rob Bresnahan’s Bid to Unseat Rep. Matt Cartwright

christine on February 12, 2024

Scranton, Pennsylvania—Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced its support for Rob Bresnahan’s bid to represent Pennsylvania’s 8^th Congressional District in Congress.

Owner of a local construction business, Bresnahan is prepared to advocate for policies that make it easier to start and grow businesses in the Keystone State, including cutting unnecessary red tape, keeping taxes low, unleashing domestic energy, and ending wasteful government spending that drives up inflation.

This is the fourth endorsement the grassroots super PAC has made in Pennsylvania for the 2024 election cycle. In 2023, AFP Action endorsed Pennsylvania State Reps. Ryan Mackenzie and Rob Mercuri for U.S. House and businessman Dave McCormick for U.S. Senate.

After announcing the latest endorsement, AFP Action Senior Advisor Ashley Klingensmith gave the following statement:

“For too long, Pennsylvanians have had lackluster representation in Congress. Instead of listening to constituents’ top priorities, Representatives like Matt Cartwright have advanced an agenda that grows government, grows the national debt, and grows onerous regulations that depress the economy. It’s time for new leadership in Congress and Rob Bresnahan will be part of a new generation of lawmakers in the Pennsylvania delegation that will turn the page on the status quo in Washington.”
