Announces $3.25 Million Ad Buy Across Key Senate Battlegrounds

ARLINGTON, VA — Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced the endorsements of Kurt Alme for United States Senate in Montana and Ashley Hinson for United States Senate in Iowa, expanding its commitment to electing leaders with proven records of advancing policies that drive down the cost of living for all Americans. Alongside the endorsements, AFP Action is announcing a major $3.25 million ad buy across six key U.S. Senate battlegrounds — New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, and Montana — as part of its layered strategy to reach voters early with a message grounded in substance.

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

“As a result of decades of failed big-government policies, American families are still paying more for groceries, energy, housing, and everyday essentials — and they are looking for leaders who will do something about it. Kurt Alme and Ashley Hinson are exactly the kind of candidates who understand that the cost of living is a daily struggle for millions of people. Both have the records and the policy vision to deliver real relief.

“Kurt Alme helped implement the largest income tax cut in Montana’s modern history, cutting the top rate by roughly 37% and simplifying the tax code. As Montana’s former U.S. Attorney under President Trump, he led efforts to combat violent crime and public corruption. He knows how to turn principles into results — and that’s what Montana families need right now.

“Ashley Hinson has been a policy champion in Congress, fighting to balance the budget, cut taxes, and rein in the regulatory burden that drives up costs for Iowa families. Her advocacy for the REINS Act and right-to-work protections reflects a deep commitment to removing the barriers that make life more expensive for hardworking Americans.

“Today’s $3.25 million ad buy across New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, and Montana sends a clear signal: AFP Action is all-in on the races that will determine the direction of the country. Our grassroots teams have already knocked on more than 500,000 doors this cycle — having face-to-face conversations with voters about the issues that matter most. And we are just getting started.

“The senators elected in 2026 will still be casting votes in the early 2030s — on Social Security solvency, the national debt, and the long-term economic trajectory of the country. That is why AFP Action is focused not just on winning races, but on electing leaders who will govern with substance and deliver policies that make life less expensive and more opportunity-rich for every American.”

About the Ad Buy
AFP Action’s $3.25 million investment will fund targeted digital, streaming, and connected TV advertising across all six Senate battleground states: New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, and Montana.

Martz, Alme helped implement the largest income tax cut in Montana’s modern history — reducing the top rate by roughly 37% and simplifying the tax system. His private-sector experience at Crowley Fleck gave him firsthand insight into the real-world impact of regulation and federal policy on businesses and job creators.

Ashley Hinson — Iowa
Ashley Hinson has been a tireless advocate for Iowa families in the U.S. House of Representatives, securing policy wins on right-to-work issues and consistently championing the REINS Act to hold federal agencies accountable.

Manchester, NH – On Saturday, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) activists and volunteers came together in Manchester for a grassroots kickoff event with U.S. Senate candidate John Sununu, building on ongoing grassroots efforts and ramping up voter outreach across the Granite State ahead of a critical election season.

Sununu and AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott addressed volunteers and supporters before heading out to knock doors and connect with voters. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott issued the following statement:

“Elections are won on the ground, and Saturday’s kickoff showed the energy and commitment already behind John Sununu. With margins expected to be razor-thin, the conversations happening at the doors right now will make all the difference come November.

“The message we heard from voters was clear—families are being squeezed and want real relief they can feel in their day-to-day lives, not more empty promises. John Sununu is the proven leader we need. He is someone who will fight for lower taxes, more opportunity, and a stronger economy. The energy we saw on the ground today is exactly what it’s going to take to turn out voters and secure victory in November.” 

John Sununu said: 

“I am very grateful to have the endorsement of Americans for Prosperity Action and thankful to everyone who joined me knocking doors on Saturday. Had good conversations with voters and especially appreciated those who signed on to support my candidacy. The energy and enthusiasm of AFP Action volunteers and supporters is critical to our winning in November. As Senator, I’ll have just one job—stand up for the people of New Hampshire every single day.”

Background on AFP Action Endorsed Candidate John Sununu:   

John Sununu brings a legacy of principled leadership to drive real results for New Hampshire. As a former Congressman and Senator representing New Hampshire, Sununu spent 12 years in Washington fighting to rein in government overreach, cut taxes, and reduce wasteful spending. His work in regulatory reform helped streamline federal bureaucracy and protect small businesses from burdensome rules. Sununu’s commitment to limited government and fiscal discipline reflects the values Granite Staters care about most — accountability, efficiency, and economic freedom. He’s ready to return to Washington and ensure New Hampshire families keep more of what they earn, while restoring common sense to federal policymaking.
