AFP Action Reaffirms Support for John Sununu

Concord, NH – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) reaffirms its support for John Sununu as he officially files to run for U.S. Senate. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott released the following statement: 

Higher costs, runaway spending, and a congressman who talked a big game back home while voting with Washington’s agenda. That is who Chris Pappas is, and Granite Staters are done with that playbook.

“John Sununu is a different kind of leader who offers steady leadership. He has spent his career delivering results for New Hampshire and understands that Granite Staters don’t need more partisan posturing, but real solutions to the rise in cost-of-living hitting family budgets. From reining in federal spending to strengthening the local economy, Sununu is focused on the work that actually matters to people back home. AFP Action is proud to support Sununu because Granite Staters deserve a senator who represents New Hampshire values, and this November, we intend to help make that happen.

AFP Action Congratulates Dave McCormick on Winning Pennsylvania Senate Race 

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.

AFP Action on Control of the U.S. Senate: “2025 Starts Now.”

ARLINGTON, VA – As media reports now confirm majority control of the U.S. Senate will flip to the Republican Party, Americans for Prosperity President and CEO and AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Seidel issued the following statement:

“2025 starts now. In a year in which policy decisions in Washington, D.C. could define a generation, we are glad that Americans will have the right voices in the U.S. Senate to provide the vision and leadership the country requires. We said from the beginning that this will be the most unpredictable election cycle in recent memory and prioritizing the U.S. Senate gave us our best opportunity to elect candidates who can prevent the very worst policy threats and offer a better alternative. That’s why we backed strong candidates who had the principles and backbone to win, to lead, and to solve the greatest challenges facing our country. 

“This is Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and AFP Action’s largest effort in our 20-year history. Our grassroots teams have been talking with voters for the past two years and have made more than 19.5 million total voter contacts. But our work is just beginning. While the election marks the end of operations for other groups, our sister organization AFP will continue to make their voices heard, helping to pass the public policy these candidates were elected to achieve. For those policymakers committed to championing policy solutions, they will have no stronger, more committed, or more effective ally than AFP. For those who forget that the American people expect principled public policy that helps improve their lives, AFP will be here to remind them.

“While majorities matter, they are never enough. We need to demonstrate every day why policies grounded in the core American principles of freedom and empowerment do far more to spread prosperity than top-down government control, no matter which party advocates it. The American people deserve policies that help improve their lives and AFP will never waver in our defense of core limited government principles and the freedom and opportunity that comes with them.” 

“Finally, we congratulate President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance on their victory. Their administration will face serious and daunting challenges, but there will be opportunity to advance policy solutions to address them. Americans continue to struggle to afford gas and groceries, the country’s finances are unsustainable, and a significant majority of Americans believe our country is headed in the wrong direction. Just as we have always done, AFP stands ready to work towards solutions on these important problems. Americans made their voices heard; now is the time to deliver on the promise of a better future. The stakes could not be higher, and failure is not an option.”

AFP Action Knocks One Million Doors for Dave McCormick 

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.”
