Blame Game Bob Won’t Own His Voting Record on Inflation

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.

FIVE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM FINAL MICHIGAN SENATE DEBATE:

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.”

Rogers Bests Slotkin in Detroit Debate

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.”

Voters Should Evaluate Slotkin on How She Votes, Not What She Says

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.”
