cgallagher on May 7, 2026

DES MOINES, IA— Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced its endorsement of Ashley Hinson for U.S. Senate. A longtime policy champion for sister organization Americans for Prosperity, Hinson has fought for Iowans in the U.S. House of Representatives, securing policy wins on right-to-work issues and consistently advocating for the REINS Act. 

Tyler Raygor, AFP Action Senior Advisor, issued the following statement: 

“AFP Action is proud to endorse Ashley Hinson in her bid to represent Iowa in the U.S. Senate. A former state representative, congresswoman, mother and life-long Iowan, Hinson deeply understands our communities and will continue to fight for the future of our state. 

“Hinson approaches issues in Congress with a clear commitment to free-market principles and limited government. Throughout her time as a public servant, Hinson has worked to balance the budget, cut taxes, and protect the most vulnerable.” 

AFP Action will deploy its full grassroots infrastructure in support of Hinson’s campaign, including door-to-door voter engagement, targeted outreach, and data-driven voter contact efforts.

AFP Action Endorses Kurt Alme for U.S. Senate 

cgallagher on May 7, 2026

MISSOULA, MT — Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced its endorsement of Kurt Alme for the United States Senate, backing a proven leader with a record of delivering results and advancing policies rooted in economic freedom, limited government, and accountability. 

Jesse Ramos, AFP Action Senior Advisor, issued the following statement: 

“Kurt Alme has a proven track record in tax policy, budgeting, public safety, and public service. He approaches these issues with a clear commitment to free-market principles and limited government. Just as important, his record shows he knows how to turn those principles into results. That’s why AFP Action is proud to support Kurt Alme for U.S. Senate.” 

Alme brings a results-driven background to the race. As Montana’s former U.S. Attorney under President Trump, he led efforts to combat violent crime, drug trafficking, and public corruption across the state. In the private sector, Alme’s work at Crowley Fleck provided firsthand experience with the real-world impact of regulation and federal policy on businesses and job creators. 
 
As Gov. Martz’s Revenue Director, Kurt Alme helped implement the largest income tax cut in Montana’s modern history—reducing the top rate by roughly 37% and simplifying the system. At a time when rising federal spending is driving inflation and making it harder for Montana families to get ahead, that kind of leadership matters. Alme has a proven record of keeping taxes low, reining in spending, and advancing policies that put more money back in the pockets of hardworking Montanans. 

This race will determine whether Montana continues to lead on pro-growth policies — low taxes, responsible spending, energy development, and regulatory restraint — or whether we drift toward the same top-down, government-heavy approach that has driven up costs and limited opportunity across the country. 

Kurt Alme offers a clear approach— disciplined, limited government, strong economic growth, and the freedom for Montanans to build their own future without interference from Washington. 

AFP Action will deploy its full grassroots infrastructure in support of Alme’s campaign, including door-to-door voter engagement, targeted outreach, and data-driven voter contact efforts. Early engagement will be critical in a race that will help shape the direction of the country for years to come.

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.”
