No Introduction Needed: AFP Action Ad Spotlights Sununu’s Results for NH

Concord, NH – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced today a new ad campaign for John Sununu, highlighting his character that the Granite State knows well. The significant six-figure ad buy focuses on Sununu’s record of delivering results and his ability to break through gridlock and lead with a steady, results-driven approach. The ad underscores a simple message: in New Hampshire, reputation is earned over time.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott issued the following statement:

“New Hampshire voters do not need an introduction when it comes to John Sununu. We have seen his strong record and principled leadership firsthand, and now more than ever, we need leaders like Sununu who are consistent, accountable, and willing to stand up for the Granite State. This campaign is a reminder that you can’t rewrite a record when it’s politically convenient. Granite Staters have already lived through it, and they remember it. That is why AFP Action is proud to support and highlight Sununu because his record is proven, his leadership is tested, and New Hampshire knows he can deliver results when it matters most.”

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. 

Daily Signal: Americans for Prosperity Action Endorses Husted

Rebecca Downs | 3/16/26

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Sen. Jon Husted is landing an endorsement from Americans for Prosperity Action in what is set to become its largest grassroots effort campaign.

As Donovan O’Neil, a senior adviser to AFP Action, explained to The Daily Signal, the support for the Ohio Republican will involve a “robust” campaign from digital ads to canvassing.

It will also include a data focus, identifying 2 million voters for AFP Action to engage. O’Neil said this bloc of voters can be the “change maker” in the election.

Former Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, is looking to make a comeback after losing to Republican now-Sen. Bernie Moreno in 2024.

AFP Action will immediately commence canvassing efforts across Ohio’s 88 counties.

As the secretary of state in 2017, Husted received the inaugural Taxpayers’ Torch Award from Americans for Prosperity’s Ohio chapter.

O’Neil applauded Husted’s efforts in the Senate on family tax cuts and on a principled balanced budget amendment. “Good government is the through line for Husted,” O’Neil shared, calling him “the future.”

Brown has attacked Husted on economic issues in recent weeks, saying the senator “would rather fight for billionaires” and calling attention to rising health care prices for Ohioans. 

“I’m in this for the Ohioans picking up odd jobs after work to help pay the rent. I’m in this for the parents putting $10 in the tank at a time just to make it to payday,” Brown said on X.

O’Neil recalled “consistently hearing at the doors in 2024” of concerns about the economy and inflation, a lack of reinvestment in Ohio, and border security.

Ohio has been a bellwether in past elections, and the state still carries significance in 2026. O’Neil acknowledged that Ohio “is a red state,” but that one “shouldn’t take Ohio voters for granted.”

“The final two years of [President Donald] Trump’s term will be highly impacted by how Ohio votes this November,” O’Neil said.

The Cook Political Report considers this Senate race as “Lean Republican.” The Ohio 2024 Senate race was reportedly the most expensive in the country, and this year’s race could follow that pattern.

AFP Action Launches Statewide Grassroots Efforts Supporting U.S. Senator Jon Husted

COLUMBUS, OH – As reported in The Daily Signal today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today endorsed Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) for election and began statewide grassroots efforts across Ohio that will be the largest voter engagement effort in AFP Action’s history.

AFP Action will target 1.5 million households across Ohio representing 2 million voters with door-to-door outreach in support of Sen. Husted from today through election day. This groundwork will communicate Husted’s outstanding record from his first year in office, reinforcing AFP Action’s targeted strategy to turn out the right voters and elect him for a full term in the U.S. Senate.

Donovan O’Neil, AFP Action senior advisor, issued the following statement:

“At a time when many Ohioans are struggling with rising living costs, AFP Action is proud to announce its endorsement of Senator Jon Husted for election. Husted has championed transformative tax reform and responsible spending throughout his entire career, from the Ohio state House to the U.S. Senate, where he drove support for President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cut. 

“This year’s election presents a critical opportunity for Ohioans to protect the Republican majority in the Senate and prevent Sherrod Brown from returning to push his Washington first, Ohio second economic policies. Husted is the clear choice for Ohioans concerned about lingering inflation and reigning in federal spending.

“Husted will have the support of AFP Action’s vast network of grassroots activists across the state, who will work non-stop until November to ensure he continues to represent hardworking Ohioans in Washington and that Sherrod Brown stays in retirement.”

AFP Action Congratulates Michael Whatley on Primary Win, Announces New Ad Buy

RALEIGH, NC – Tonight, Michael Whatley won the Republican primary election for the open U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina.

In the coming months, AFP Action will continue to educate and mobilize voters in support of Whatley, who will now face former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper in November’s general election.

With all eyes turned to November, AFP Action tonight is also announcing two new ads as part of a six-figure ad buy that draws a contrast between Whatley’s positions and the failed policies that Cooper has supported over his four decades in public office.

AFP Action senior advisor for North Carolina Tyler Voigt released the following statement:

“We congratulate Michael Whatley on his decisive victory tonight. Michael Whatley deserves to be North Carolina’s next U.S. senator because he will put us first, working to lower costs by eliminating job-killing regulations and making the U.S. energy dominant. In contrast, Roy Cooper will put his progressive agenda first. He vetoed tax cuts that helped North Carolina families. We cannot afford to elect Roy Cooper as our next senator, and AFP Action looks forward to deploying our grassroots network in support of Whatley from now through November.”
