Bob Casey Jr. is a Rubber Stamp for the Biden-Harris Agenda

abarrett on October 4, 2024

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.”

Casey Blames Businesses for His Bad Votes 

abarrett on October 4, 2024

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.”

Casey Refuses to Secure the Border Despite Cost to Pennsylvanians

abarrett on October 4, 2024

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.”

AFP Action’s Latest $1.25M Ad Buy Highlights Real Wisconsin Voters Betrayed by Tammy Baldwin

abarrett on August 9, 2024

Madison, WI – This week, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) highlights real Wisconsin voters suffering the severe consequences of Tammy Baldwin’s relentless support of radical spending policies in a $1.25 million ad buy airing across the Badger State.

“Tammy Baldwin spent a trillion dollars on the Inflation Reduction Act. It did not help us.” – Jackie B., Tigerton, WI

“When you need to fix the economy, you take it to a businessman. He understands what it takes to be successful” – Bobbie S., Sheboygan, WI 

The Wisconsin ads feature testimonials of real Wisconsin voters who feel betrayed by Tammy Baldwin’s support of radical spending policies directly responsible for high inflation and rising costs. These voters are calling for real change and share why they believe Eric Hovde is the problem-solving leader who can help reignite Wisconsin’s economy. 

 AFP Action Senior Advisor Megan Novak made the following statement:

“Career politician Tammy Baldwin continues to fail Wisconsinites. Her relentless support of reckless government spending and lockstep voting record with the Biden-Harris administration is directly responsible for the economic uncertainty, high inflation, and rising costs burdening Wisconsinites today.”

“Eric Hovde is the problem-solving leader that Wisconsinites need. As a businessman, he understands the issues and promises to cut spending, remove costly regulations, and unleash American energy independence. Hovde is committed to representing Wisconsin and determined to work hard to get our economy back on a path to prosperity.”

The ads are part of a major $5.75 million ad buy targeting key Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
