Harrisburg, Pennsylvania—Today Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) congratulated Dave McCormick on his successful run to represent the Keystone State in the U.S. Senate. 

AFP Action endorsed Dave McCormick for U.S. Senate in July 2023—well before McCormick declared his candidacy. Since April 1, the group has knocked over one million doors urging voters to send McCormick to Washington. 

In a race decided by just over 30,000 votes, AFP Action’s grassroots army knocked on over 1 million doors to encourage Pennsylvanians to vote for Dave McCormick.

AFP Action Senior Advisor and AFP-PA State Director Emily Greene issued the following statement after the race was called: 

“Thanks to our activists and volunteers, Pennsylvania will finally have a Senator who champions the policies that will improve life in the Keystone State. We know we can trust Dave McCormick to oppose wasteful Washington spending, advocate for meaningful border security, keep taxes low, and embrace an all-of-the-above approach to domestic energy production.  

“This wouldn’t be possible without our outstanding and dedicated grassroots army that’s worked tirelessly to send a true policy champion to the U.S. Senate by knocking over a million doors!” 

“AFP is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Dave McCormick in Congress next year.”

This has been a record-breaking year as AFP and AFP Action separately engaged in a staggering 647 races, including 7 critical U.S. Senate races and 44 U.S. House races. AFP and AFP Action’s grassroots army across the country reached out to more than 19.5 million voters – AFP and AFP Action’s largest effort in our 20-year history. AFP Action’s engagement in federal races is critical as we get back to promoting candidates who will advance good policy in Washington and AFP and AFP Action’s engagement in state legislative races continues their commitment to championing policy solutions and limited government principles that empower states across the country.

Nation’s Premier Grassroots Group Crosses Major Outreach Threshold One Week Before Election Day 

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania—Today Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) knocked its one millionth door to support Dave McCormick’s run for U.S. Senate, exceeding its goal to knock one million doors in the Commonwealth by Election Day. The group will continue its best-in-class voter outreach through next Tuesday. 

AFP Action endorsed Dave McCormick as a policy champion last summer, even before he announced his candidacy. Since April 1, 2024, AFP Action has been on the ground talking to voters at their doorsteps about the significance of the Pennsylvania Senate race.

Upon reaching the million-door mark, AFP Action Senior Advisor in Pennsylvania Emily Greene issued the following statement: 

“I’m so incredibly proud of our grassroots army of activists and volunteers who have truly been ‘pounding the pave for Dave!’ All eyes are on Pennsylvania this cycle and we’re keenly aware of how close it will be. We’re hoping that with a million doors and counting, that we will be the difference-makers and bring Dave McCormick across the finish line. 

“Control of the Senate could run through the Keystone State and after nearly 20 years in the Senate, Pennsylvanians are tired of Bob Casey’s rubber-stamp representation. That’s why they’re ready to vote for Dave McCormick who’s going to tackle their most pressing issues like securing the border, keeping taxes low, and putting an end to wasteful Washington spending.” 

Director of AFP Action, Nathan Nascimento issued the following statement: 

“It’s easy for folks to talk a big ground game, but AFP Action is putting on a masterclass in how to reach voters and make the difference in key elections. Not only have we knocked over a million doors in Pennsylvania, but we’ve knocked over 650,000 doors in Montana, another 650,000 in Wisconsin, and over 900,000 in Ohio.  

“Our operation has been refined over years of engagements and with constantly updated data to ensure we are reaching the right voters. I’m so proud of this team and its continuing effort to change the political landscape in Washington between now and Election Day.”

Madison, WI – After the debate between Tammy Baldwin and Eric Hovde, AFP Action Senior Advisor Megan Novak released the following statement:

“AFP Action has knocked over 600,000 doors this cycle listening to what voters care about most: and that is by far the economy. Wisconsinites are still struggling to get by and paying over $11,500 more per year just to afford the same standard of living since 2021, yet the moderators asked zero questions about this cost of living crisis.

“Tonight, Eric Hovde proved why he is the best choice to represent Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate.  As a businessman, Hovde is a job creator with the visions and skills necessary to strengthen our economy and fight for Wisconsinites.  

“After 25 years in Washington – if Tammy Baldwin was going to make a difference, she would have done so by now. It’s time to turn the page on Tammy Baldwin and Eric Hovde is the man for the job.” 

AFP Action is highlighting five main points voters should know after tonight’s debate, despite the moderators ignoring questions about the issues Wisconsinites care about the most:

• Tammy Baldwin is a career politician who’s spent 25 years in Washington, D.C. and has nothing to show for it. 
• Baldwin voted for the American Rescue Plan, the CHIPS Act, the Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act and the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, amounting to a $5.5 trillion spending frenzy and leading to historically high inflation and sluggish wage growth.
• Senator Baldwin has failed to secure the southern border and Wisconsin. Eric Hovde will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground and infrastructure.  
• In the debate, Baldwin tried to paint herself bipartisan, but she has voted with the radical Biden-Harris administration over 95% of the time. 
• Eric Hovde will be a man of action and work on day one to get Wisconsin and our country’s economy back on track.  

Madison, WI – Tammy Baldwin falsely claimed credit for her work on the FEND Act, a bill to combat the fentanyl crisis destroying our communities and killing Wisconsinites.  

When in fact, Senator Tim Scott (SC), the main sponsor of the bill, has called out Baldwin for her blatant lies and stated he “never had a single conversation with Sen. Baldwin about [the FEND Act]. Period.” 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Megan Novak released the following statement: 

“The fact of the matter is this: Tammy and her fellow democrats could have prevented this fentanyl crisis by securing our southern border but failed. While fentanyl is killing thousands of Wisconsinites every year, Tammy Baldwin’s done nothing but take false credit for something she didn’t do, the epitome of her time in Washington. 

“America needs a real leader who knows that securing the border is the first step to securing our communities. America needs Eric Hovde in the U.S. Senate.” 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—Last night, Dave McCormick won the second Pennsylvania Senate debate. The performance highlighted the stark differences between Bob Casey Jr. and Dave McCormick as they approach November 5.

AFP Action Senior Advisory Emily Greene issued the following statement:

“Here are five key takeaways for Pennsylvania voters:

1. Americans agree that now is not the time to raise taxes. Dave McCormick has promised to renew the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Bob Casey Jr. voted against it.
2. Bob Casey has been in office nearly 20 years and has always toed the party line rather than stand up for Pennsylvania. It’s time for fresh and bold representation that Dave McCormick can deliver.
3. Bob Casey Jr. is a rubber-stamp for the Biden-Harris economic agenda, Bob Casey voted for the wasteful government spending that triggered a cost-of-living crisis. But when he’s asked, he’ll blame businesses rather than own his record.
4. The border crisis didn’t develop overnight. Despite being in office for nearly 20 years, and despite tens of thousands of deaths caused by fentanyl coming into the country though our broken border, Bob Casey refused to vote to protect Pennsylvanians. Dave McCormick will be the advocate Pennsylvania needs to restore security to our southern border.
5. Dave McCormick embraces energy abundance and an all-of-the-above approach to domestic energy production. Bob Casey merely pays it lip service every six years.”

-###-

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – After Dave McCormick handily defeated Bob Casey Jr. in the second Pennsylvania Senate Debate, AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“Tonight, Dave McCormick showed Pennsylvanians that he has our back. He knows and understands the issues that we are most concerned about: making life more affordable, restoring order to our border, and keeping taxes low.

“Bob Casey has had nearly 20 years to stand up for Pennsylvania, and at every opportunity, he instead votes for his party and his politically connected allies.

“AFP Action has knocked over 800,000 doors and counting to be sure that Dave McCormick replaces Bob Casey and starts giving Pennsylvanians a real voice in the U.S. Senate.”

-###-

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, –In tonight’s Pennsylvania Senate Debate, Dave McCormick made it clear he will embrace an ‘all-of-the-above’ approach to domestic energy production that could propel more economic growth and opportunity in the Commonwealth.

Despite Kamala Harris’s very clear history of advocating for a ban on fracking, Bob Casey refuses to speak out or urge Harris to make her support for U.S. energy abundance clear.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“Pennsylvania has so much energy potential, but it needs to be unleashed by a true energy champion. Dave McCormick isn’t afraid to embrace energy abundance. A true, all-of-the-above approach will not only help reduce operating costs and utility costs for Pennsylvanians, but it will also create more job opportunities in the Keystone State.

“On the other hand, Bob Casey has said little about Pennsylvania’s energy potential or pushed Kamala Harris to commit to unleash energy abundance. The choice is clear, Pennsylvania can choose Dave McCormick’s enthusiastic and transformative energy policy, or they can vote for a senator who only pays lip-service to Pennsylvania’s powerhouse potential.”

-###-

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – As Bob Casey Jr. and Dave McCormick square off in the second Pennsylvania Senate debate, AFP Action is reminding voters that Bob Casey votes with the Biden-Harris Administration 98% of the time.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“What does Pennsylvania have to show for Bob Casey’s nearly 20 years in the U.S. Senate? A higher cost of living, a chaotic southern border, a mushrooming national debt, and a Senator who votes with the Biden-Harris Administration 98% of the time.

“The Keystone State deserves a Senator who puts hard-working taxpayers before his party and special interest allies. Dave McCormick promises to be a fresh, bold, new voice in the Senate who will stand up for our state and get the country back on track.”

-###-

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – As the Pennsylvania Senate debate turns to immigration policy, Bob Casey refuses to take accountability for his inaction on border security.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene issued the following statement:

“Bob Casey Jr. has been in office nearly 20 years and yet he hasn’t done anything to secure our border—even though tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians have succumbed to the fentanyl overdoses and the opioid epidemic.

“Casey was the deciding vote to kill an amendment that would funded construction of a border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. He also voted against an amendment that would have provided $500 million to fund border security.

“Unlike Casey, Dave McCormick has pledged to take border security seriously. Casey has had his chance. It’s time for new leadership for Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate.”

-###-

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – After Dave McCormick handily defeated Bob Casey Jr. in the second Pennsylvania Senate Debate, AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“Tonight, Dave McCormick showed Pennsylvanians that he has our back. He knows and understands the issues that we are most concerned about: making life more affordable, restoring order to our border, and keeping taxes low.

“Bob Casey has had nearly 20 years to stand up for Pennsylvania, and at every opportunity, he instead votes for his party and his politically connected allies.

“AFP Action has knocked over 800,000 doors and counting to be sure that Dave McCormick replaces Bob Casey and starts giving Pennsylvanians a real voice in the U.S. Senate.”

-###-

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – In tonight’s debate, Bob Casey Jr. continued to blame job creators for rising consumer costs.

However, a closer look at Casey’s voting record shows that he was the tie-breaking vote for the Biden-Harris Administration’s inflationary spending policies.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene issued the following statement:

“Bob Casey voted for the so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the American Rescue Plan, and the CHIPS Act. When he voted for trillions in spending, he voted to overheat the economy. Inflation is simply the invisible tax all Americans have been paying on the Biden-Harris economic agenda.

“The least he could do is admit he voted for it, instead of blaming businesses. Fortunately, Dave McCormick understands the need for fiscal responsibility and he will vote to keep the federal government living within its means. That’s why AFP Action is knocking doors every day between now and November 5: because we can’t afford another six years of Casey voting for wasteful government spending and then expecting Pennsylvanians to foot the bill.

Detroit, Michigan—Last night, Mike Rogers once again defeated Elissa Slotkin on the debate stage.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding issued the following statement on last night’s debate.

“Here are five key takeaways for Michigan voters:

1. Mike Rogers is not a rubber stamp. He’s ready and willing to push back against the worst instincts of progressive Democrats and he will fight for Michigan families and businesses.

• Elissa Slotkin can claim that she’s a “fiscal conservative” but her voting record tells a very different story.

• Unlike Elissa Slotkin, Mike Rogers will vote to secure the border and reduce the importation of fentanyl into our country. Despite having every opportunity, Slotkin voted against border security measures that would end the chaos at our southern border.

• Even when it comes to issues fundamental to Michigan’s economy, Slotkin votes with her party, not her people. She voted against fellow Michigander John James’ bill to roll back the Biden-Harris Administration’s electric vehicle mandate, even though a ban on gas-powered cars will be catastrophic for Michigan automakers.

• Elissa Slotkin is trying to mislead voters with moderate statements and positions, even though she votes with the Biden-Harris Administration 100% of the time.”

-###-

Detroit, Michigan – After former Congressman Mike Rogers defeated Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin in the second Michigan Senate Debate, AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding released the following statement:

“Once again, Mike Rogers has demonstrated that he has a solutions-oriented attitude and the leadership experience necessary to be our next U.S. Senator. Unlike Elissa Slotkin, Rogers can talk the talk AND walk the walk.

“He can be trusted to be honest with Michiganders and be a reliable vote for fiscal responsibility and border security while pushing back against heavy-handed government regulations that could stifle Michigan’s economy.”

-###-

Detroit, Michigan – As the debate between Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin and former Congressman Mike Rogers continues, Slotkin continues to style herself as a moderate and centrist.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding released the following statement:

“Elissa Slotkin is no moderate. She votes with the Biden-Harris Administration 100% of the time. That includes supporting the Electric Vehicle mandate, rubber-stamping an inflationary spending agenda, eroding worker freedom by supporting the PRO Act, and even ending the filibuster.

“If she goes to the Senate, she won’t be voting for Michigan, she’ll be voting with her special-interest supporters and toeing the party line.”

-###-

Detroit, Michigan–As the second Michigan Senate debate addresses border security, Elissa Slotkin continues to paper over her voting record.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding released the following statement:

“Michiganders are troubled about the lack of order and security on the U.S.-Mexico border. They’ve seen the deaths caused by the fentanyl epidemic. But every time Elissa Slotkin had an opportunity to do something about it, she voted against securing the border.

• Elissa Slotkin voted against H.R. 2 the “Secure the Border” Act of 2023.
• As a freshman Congresswoman, Slotkin voted to terminate an emergency declaration that would have enabled the construction of a border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
• She dismissed the effort to strengthen the nation’s border security as merely ‘political action on the part of the President.’

On the other, Mike Rogers has always taken border security seriously and understands why border security is critical to keeping Michigan safe.”

-###

Detroit, Michigan—As Michiganders continue to struggle under the cost-of-living crisis caused by the Biden-Harris Administration, only one candidate in the race can be counted on to keep taxes low.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding issued the following statement:

“Mike Rogers has committed to renewing and expanding the pro-growth Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Americans overwhelmingly say that now is not the time to raise taxes. As Michiganders struggle with a government-created cost-of-living-crisis, it’s crucial that our next Senator is committed to keeping taxes low so the economy can grow.

“When it comes to the economy, Mike Rogers is the candidate that will restore fiscal responsibility, vote to let you keep more of your hard-earned money, and keep taxes low.”

-###-

Detroit, Michigan – As Elissa Slotkin and Mike Rogers debate the impacts of the Biden-Harris Administration’s EV mandate, it’s important to remember that Slotkin has supported the administration’s ban on gas-powered cars.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding released the following statement:

“Just last month, Elissa Slotkin voted against a bill—introduced by Michigan Congressman John James—to roll back the Biden-Harris Administration’s electric vehicle mandate. This EV mandate spells disaster for Detroit, but Slotkin supports it anyway.

“Mike Rogers knows that it’s better to let industry innovate without interference from the government and he won’t back heavy-handed mandates that deprive consumers of choice, push businesses to the breaking point, or endanger Michigan jobs.”

-###-

Detroit, Michigan – As the economy remains a top concern for Michigan voters, Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin refuses to acknowledge that she voted for the inflation that’s crushing families and seniors living on fixed incomes.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding issued the following statement as Slotkin and Rogers sparred over the cost-of-living crisis:

“Congresswoman Slotkin talks a good game, but her voting record shows her true loyalty is to the Democratic Party elites, even when its radical progressive agenda threatens the financial stability of Michiganders.

“Slotkin voted for inflation when she voted for the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” which was actually reckless government spending. She also voted for the “American Rescue Plan.” Both bills mushroomed the national debt. Studies show that far from reducing inflation, these planks of the Biden-Harris agenda overheated the economy and triggered this historic cost-of-living crisis.

“Mike Rogers will restore fiscal sanity and defend hard-working taxpayers by opposing wasteful government spending.”

-###-

Grand Rapids, Michigan—Last night, Mike Rogers showed Michiganders that he has what it takes to be Michigan’s next senator.

AFP Action Senior Advisory Tim Golding issued the following statement about why Mike Rogers won the first debate against Elissa Slotkin.

“Here are five key takeaways for Michigan voters:

1. Slotkin talked bipartisanship but is a fierce liberal partisan once she crosses the DC Beltway, voting 100% with the Biden-Harris agenda in Congress.  Slotkin ignores the needs of hard-working Michiganders and goes to work advancing her party’s radical progressive agenda—even if that means ending the filibuster, raising taxes, or ending the Right to Work by supporting the PRO Act.
2. Despite previous claims that she’s a “fiscal conservative” and believes in “treating our federal budget like we treat our home budget” Slotkin voted for the “Inflation Reduction Act” and all its reckless spending that led to 40-year high inflation.
3. Slotkin talked tough about the border but she voted against H.R. 2 the “Secure the Border” Act of 2023.  As a freshman Congresswoman, Slotkin voted to terminate an emergency declaration that would have enabled the construction of a border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.  She dismissed the effort to strengthen the nation’s border security as merely “political action on the part of the President.”
4. Slotkin tried to position herself as a moderate on energy and environmental issues but her voting record shows that she puts progressive politics over the best interests of Michigan’s families and businesses.  Despite spelling potential disaster to Michigan’s economy, Slotkin voted just last month to uphold the Biden-Harris Administration’s electric vehicle mandate. This follows a trend of Slotkin backing feckless energy initiatives that would increase energy costs and destabilize Michigan’s energy grid.
5. Mike Rogers won that debate with good ideas and solid policy. Join AFPA and help us send him to the Senate. Rogers understands how federal policies affect kitchen table issues. Michigan needs him in the Senate to restore fiscal sanity.  If you’re not doing better today than you were four years ago, then you need to vote for Rogers for US Senate. He’s going to buck the status quo and hold the line for Michigan.”

Grand Rapids, Michigan – After former Congressman Mike Rogers defeated Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin in the first Michigan Senate Debate, AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding released the following statement:

“Tonight, Mike Rogers showed Michigan voters that they have the opportunity to vote for a real leader to represent them in the U.S. Senate. For two decades, Debbie Stabenow left the real concerns of Michiganders behind as she rubber-stamped a progressive agenda that hurt their families, their businesses, and their paychecks.

“Elissa Slotkin will be more of the same. She showed us that with her voting record. She’s wearing a mask of moderation to win this election, but we know the kinds of policies that she supports by rubber-stamping 100% of the Biden-Harris agenda.

“Mike Rogers has the right attitude and solutions to stand up for Michigan in the Senate, and we need that more than ever.”

-###-

Grand Rapids, Michigan– While Elissa Slotkin attempts to defend the Biden-Harris administration’s failed border policies , AFP Action is highlighting the Congresswoman’s own failures to secure the border and protect Michiganders.

• Elissa Slotkin voted against H.R. 2 the “Secure the Border” Act of 2023.
• As a freshman Congresswoman, Slotkin voted to terminate an emergency declaration that would have enabled the construction of a border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
• She dismissed the effort to strengthen the nation’s border security as merely “political action on the part of the President.”

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding released the following statement:

“Now that it’s politically inconvenient, Congresswoman Slotkin is trying to flip the script on her previous stances on immigration. It’s insulting to the Michiganders who have fallen victim to fentanyl while she pays mere lip service to the idea of border security during an election year.

“Believe how she votes, not what she says. Contrast her record with that of former Congressman Mike Rogers. Rogers has always advocated for border security and has the track record to prove it. That’s why he needs to be Michigan’s next Senator.”

-###-

Grand Rapids, Michigan – As the debate between Elissa Slotkin and Mike Rogers is underway, Slotkin has tried to position herself as a moderate on energy and environmental issues that will have an outsized impact on Michigan’s economy.

However, her voting record shows that she puts progressive politics over the best interests of Michigan’s families and businesses.

Despite spelling potential disaster to Michigan’s economy, Elissa Slotkin voted just last month to uphold the Biden-Harris Administration’s electric vehicle mandate. This follows a trend of Slotkin backing feckless energy initiatives that would increase energy costs and destabilize the grid.

She’s supported a ban on liquid natural gas exports, has endorsed shutting down the Line 5 pipeline in Michigan, and favors a radical environmental agenda that’s at odds with growing Michigan’s economy and keeping costs down for Michiganders.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding released the following statement:

“Elissa Slotkin’s progressive agenda threatens the stability of Michigan’s energy grid and its economy. The electric vehicle mandate cuts at the heart of Michigan’s auto manufacturing sector. Given the chance to roll back this overreaching regulation just last month, Slotkin voted to keep it—even though she’s falsely advertising to voters that she supports consumer choice.

“But it’s also on-brand. Slotkin has supported strangling the export of liquid natural gas, wants to close a critical pipeline in Michigan, and doesn’t understand that her aggressive anti-energy agenda isn’t workable.

“With our weather and climate AND our economy, there’s really only one champion on the ballot: Mike Rogers. He supports an all-of-the-above approach to domestic energy production, which is exactly what we need if we intend to thrive.”

-###-

Grand Rapids, Michigan – In tonight’s debate, Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin attempted to salvage her economic record after voting for legislation that triggered the cost-of-living crisis that’s squeezing hard-working Michiganders and ballooned the national debt.

Despite previous claims that she’s a “fiscal conservative” and believes in “treating our federal budget like we treat our home budget” Slotkin voted for the inflationary “Inflation Reduction Act” (IRA). Contrary to its name, the IRA kicked inflation into overdrive. The IRA  resulted in U.S. gas prices increasing by nearly 62%, natural gas prices spiking by more than 40 percent, and included a $250-billion-dollar Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program to fund liberal pet projects. Studies show that far from reducing inflation, the IRA and other signature pieces of the Biden-Harris economic agenda overheated the economy and led to the crushing cost increase in household goods.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding released the following statement:

“Elissa Slotkin voted for inflation when she voted for the Inflation Reduction Act and other planks of the Biden-Harris economic agenda. This election is an opportunity for Michiganders to get fresh and bold representation in the U.S. Senate, but unfortunately, Slotkin buys into the same misplaced, big-government philosophy that powered ‘Bidenomics’ and has pushed the nation right to the edge of the fiscal cliff.

“We’re at a crossroads, and it’s getting harder and harder to turn back. But Mike Rogers understands how federal fiscal policy affects kitchen table issues. He supports a balanced budget amendment and—unlike Slotkin—knows that inflation is a government-created problem caused by wasteful government spending.”

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania—Last night, Dave McCormick showed Pennsylvanians that he should be the Keystone State’s next senator.

AFP Action Senior Advisory Emily Greene issued the following statement after Dave McCormick won his first debate against incumbent Senator Bob Casey Jr.

“Here are five key takeaways for Pennsylvania voters:

1. Polling shows that Americans agree that now is not the time to raise taxes. Dave McCormick has promised to renew the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Bob Casey Jr. voted against it.
2. Dave McCormick is a new leader with a fresh perspective and appreciation for Pennsylvania voters. Bob Casey has been in office for nearly 20 years and rubber-stamped the Biden-Harris economic agenda; he votes with them 98% of the time.
3. Dave McCormick is a job creator and understands the policies that help grow the economy and expand economic opportunity. Bob Casey voted for inflation and then blamed job creators for increased consumer prices because he won’t own his own record.
4. Dave McCormick is serious about border security. Bob Casey Jr. voted against securing the border even though over 18,000 Pennsylvanians have fallen victim to the fentanyl crisis that’s perpetuated by the open border policies supported by Casey and the Biden-Harris Administration.
5. Pennsylvania’s energy sector is ready and willing to power the nation. Only one candidate has credibility when it comes to embracing an all-of-the-above approach, and that’s Dave McCormick. On the other hand, Bob Casey has voted to increase red tape on energy production and won’t be the energy champion that Pennsylvania needs.”

-###-

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – After the debate between Bob Casey Jr. and Dave McCormick, AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“Tonight, Dave McCormick showed Pennsylvanians his vision to reignite the American Dream. He outlined real policy solutions and offered the Keystone State a chance to turn the page on nearly 20 years of Bob Casey’s failed leadership in the U.S. Senate.

“Bob Casey has had nearly 20 years in the Senate. Why do we think he’s going to make things better THIS time?

“He understands the problems that Pennsylvanians face and—more importantly—champions the policies that will solve those problems. From expanding economic opportunity, to restoring fiscal responsibility, unleashing American energy, to securing the border, Dave has what it takes to properly represent Pennsylvania.

“That’s why AFP Action has knocked over 700,000 doors across the commonwealth—because we believe he is the candidate who will go to Washington and help the country correct course.”

-###-

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, – As the debate between Dave McCormick and Bob Casey Jr. is underway, Bob Casey fails to be a champion for Pennsylvania’s energy sector.

Despite Kamala Harris’s very clear history of advocating for a ban on fracking, Bob Casey refuses to speak out or urge Harris to make her support for U.S. energy abundance clear.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“Bob Casey pays lip service to Pennsylvania’s energy potential every six years, but we know that he isn’t a real champion for our energy sector. He supported the EPA’s EV mandate, supported increased CAFE standards, opposed the Keystone Pipeline, and is noticeably quiet on Kamala Harris’s historic opposition to fracking.

“Dave McCormick is committed to unleashing energy abundance and has promised to embrace an all-of-the-above approach to domestic energy production. It’s time for Pennsylvania to be an energy-exporting state and we can do that by replacing Bob Casey in the U.S. Senate.”

-###-

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – While Senator Casey claims he’s an independent voice for Pennsylvania the Senate, the truth is that he’s been a rubber-stamp for the Biden-Harris agenda and he’s spent his nearly 20 years in the Senate advancing a progressive agenda that’s out of step with Pennsylvania voters. 

In the debate, Casey desperately tried to distance himself from the economic failures of the Biden-Harris administration, but he has voted with the president 98% of the time.  

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement: 

“When we talk to Pennsylvania voters at the doors, they are often surprised to learn that Bob Casey has been in office for nearly 20 years. They’re even more surprised to learn that he isn’t the moderate he claims to be. His record shows that he’s a rubber stamp for a progressive agenda that hurts Pennsylvanians. It’s time for the Keystone State to have bold and authentic representation in Washington, and that’s why we’re pounding the pavement for Dave McCormick.” 

-###-

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – In tonight’s debate, Bob Casey Jr. attempted to defend his economic record after voting for legislation that triggered the cost-of-living crisis that’s squeezing hard-working Pennsylvanians.

Casey celebrated the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which did not lower inflation. Instead, the IRA has resulted in U.S. gas prices increasing by nearly 62%, natural gas prices spiking by more than 40 percent, and included a $250-billion-dollar Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program to fund liberal pet projects. Studies show that far from reducing inflation, the IRA and other signature pieces of the Biden-Harris economic agenda overheated the economy and led to the crushing cost increase in household goods.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“Pennsylvanians deserve better than Bob Casey trying to pull the wool over their eyes about the true source of inflation. He voted for it. And rather than own his record, he’s pointing the finger at the job creators who are suffering under the Biden-Harris agenda—which Casey rubber-stamped.”

-###-

Harrisburg, PA – While Bob Casey Jr. attempts to defend the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to secure the southern border, AFP Action is highlighting the incumbent Senator’s history of failure on border security.

• Bob Casey was the deciding vote to kill an amendment that would have provided funding for constructing a wall on the US-Mexico border.
• Bob Casey was the deciding vote to kill an amendment that would have provided $500 million for walls and fences along the southwest border.
• Despite the CPB’s support for building a border wall, Bob Casey has repeatedly stated that “it won’t work” and criticized previous attempts to restore order at the U.S.-Mexico border.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement:

“Pennsylvania has been ravaged by the opioid epidemic. We know that fentanyl is entering the US through our porous border, but Bob Casey refuses to take the problem seriously because it would pit him against his progressive allies in DC.

“We need tall fences and wide gates, but to accomplish that we need real leadership that understands the plight of Pennsylvanians and takes the problem seriously. Bob Casey has shown his true colors on this issue. It’s time for new leadership in Washington, and Dave McCormick is ready to step up.”

Ads Underscore Urgent Need to Turn the Page from Democrats Reckless Spending, Historic Inflation

Arlington, VA — As reported in Fox News, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is calling out lawmakers for their failures, launching a major new series of ads targeting key Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This $5.75 million campaign focuses on the severe consequences that families are facing amid sustained historic inflation and the reckless spending policies that fueled it.

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

“Voters are tired of Washington doubling down on failed policy and then handing them the bill. But that’s what every incumbent Senator has done during their time in office—some of them for decades. The pain is very real for Americans still deciding who to vote for in November, but when you look at their record, it’s very clear that Senators Brown, Baldwin, Casey, Rosen, and Tester can’t be trusted to vote the right way when it comes to reducing inflationary spending or securing the border. 

“Any one of these Senators were the deciding vote to push the Biden-Harris administration’s massive influx of spending forward, forcing inflation into overdrive – and every single one put their Party ahead of their constituents. Americans across the country are paying the price. The last thing our country can afford is to send these Senators back to Washington for more of the same failed policies.”

Senators Jon Tester (MT), Jacky Rosen (NV), Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey (PA), and Tammy Baldwin (WI) voted for major inflationary spending and regulatory policy of the Biden-Harris administration.
