ICYMI: AFP Action in MI Crosses 300,000 Doors for Mike Rogers in Massive Day of Action Grassroots Push

Kaitlin Zurdosky on June 16, 2026

PORTAGE, MI — This past weekend, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) held a Day of Action in Michigan to build momentum behind the Senate campaign of Mike Rogers, part of a sweeping, coordinated grassroots push across key battleground states in the 2026 election cycle.

The Day of Action marked a significant milestone for AFP Action, whose grassroots volunteers surpassed the one millionth door knocked in key Senate races this cycle, including over 300,000 doors knocked in Michigan alone on behalf of Rogers’ campaign. The landmark threshold represents a massive scale of early, in-person outreach during one of the most critical windows of the 2026 election.

In an interview with Fox News and surrounded by AFP Action volunteers, Mike Rogers highlighted the power of grassroots activism driving his campaign, the opportunity agenda at the heart of his platform, and the stark contrast between his vision for Michigan and the progressive record of higher costs and more regulation for Michiganders.

Watch the interview below:

AFP Action Senior Advisor for Michigan Tim Golding issued the following statement:

“Crossing 300,000 doors in Michigan is proof that voters across this state are hungry for real change after years of progressives delivering higher taxes, more regulations, and radical candidates who are completely out of step with Michigan families. 

“In Michigan, AFP Action has made clear that Michigan voters deserve a senator who will fight to expand opportunity, cut through federal red tape, and reverse the damage done by Lansing’s radical left-wing agenda.

“Our volunteers carry the message that expanding opportunity and restoring economic freedom is what this election is about. Mike Rogers has shown he is the kind of candidate who can energize that grassroots energy and turn it into results in November. We are calling on Michigan voters to keep that momentum going and make sure their voices are heard at the ballot box.”

AFP Action Knocks Its One Millionth Door Across Key Senate Races as Cost of Living Continues to be the Defining Issue of the Midterms 

briggs on June 15, 2026

Across a million doors knocked in key Senate battlegrounds, the conversations AFP Action’s teams are having point to one overriding concern — the cost of living. 

ARLINGTON, VA — AFP Action today announced that its grassroots field teams have knocked on their one millionth door in key Senate races of the 2026 election cycle — a massive scale of early, in-person outreach during one of the most important time windows of the election. The milestone reflects the sheer breadth of ground AFP Action’s activists have already covered this cycle, and across the conversations they are having voters keep returning to the same concern: the cost of living. 

From North Carolina to Michigan, New Hampshire to Ohio, and Iowa to Montana, the message coming back is remarkably consistent. Voters are looking for leaders who take today’s economic pressure seriously and can offer a credible plan to ease it. More than any other issue, the cost of living is what will define 2026, and the voters we are hearing from are the ones who will decide these races. 

Just as important as what voters are saying is when they are saying it — these are the months when narratives take hold and candidates are framed. Engaging now is how AFP Action helps define the choice voters will eventually face, rather than leaving it to be defined by their opponents. This kind of early, sustained, person-to-person engagement is what AFP Action’s permanent, grassroots capability is built for. 

AFP Action Executive Director Nathan Nascimento issued the following statement:

“There is nothing that builds trust like a real conversation on someone’s doorstep. When one of our activists stands on a porch and listens to a family talk about what it costs to fill their tank or feed their kids, and then walks them through a candidate’s real plan to bring those costs down, that voter knows they’ve been heard. Those conversations can’t wait until September — they need to be happening now.

 “Our edge has always been our people. AFP Action activists are real, trusted members of their own communities, and they are putting in the kind of hard work that very few sign up for: knocking doors six months out, listening to their concerns, and talking to them about our strong candidates who can lead on that issue. That is what defines a race. The conversations our activists are having right now are exactly what change minds and influence votes long before Election Day.”

The Bottom Line for Candidates and Lawmakers 

This milestone reinforces the case AFP Action laid out this spring. The Senate majority is genuinely at risk and trust for Republicans on key issues is eroding. History gives the party in power structural headwinds at the midterms, but those headwinds can be overcome with credibility and substance. The months ahead are when the contours of these races take shape. The candidates who come out ahead will be the ones who pair authentic, early engagement with a serious, specific plan to lower costs.

The message to every candidate is the same one AFP Action activists are carrying to the doors: keep a relentless focus on connecting voters to your plan to lower the cost of living. Answer the one question voters are asking everywhere — what are you doing to make life more affordable for working families?

AFP Action Reaffirms Support for John Sununu

gbartlinski on June 10, 2026

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 Reminds Voters: Pappas Voted for the Largest Tax Increase in American History

gbartlinski on June 8, 2026

Concord, NH – As Chris Pappas officially files to run for the United States Senate, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is putting Granite State voters on notice: Pappas voted with Washington Democrats 94 percent of the time, rubber-stamping tax hikes, runaway spending, and policies that drove up costs for New Hampshire families.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott said:

“Chris Pappas went to Washington and voted for the largest tax increase in American history that included trillions in spending, putting politics over the families he claims to represent. Granite Staters don’t need a senator who takes orders from Washington politicians. They deserve a proven leader who will focus on delivering results to lower costs for New Hampshire families, and that leader is John Sununu.”
