cgallagher on June 3, 2026

DES MOINES, IA — Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today congratulated Congresswoman Ashley Hinson on her victory in the Republican primary election to represent Iowa in the U.S. Senate.

After the win, AFP Action Senior Advisor Tyler Raygor released the following statement:

“AFP Action congratulates Congresswoman Ashley Hinson on earning the trust and support of Iowa voters in today’s primary election. From the outset of this race, AFP Action was proud to support Hinson because of her consistent record of advancing policies that expand opportunity, limit government overreach and empower individuals and families to thrive.

“Hinson has demonstrated principled leadership and a clear commitment to fiscal responsibility, economic freedom and removing barriers that hold back hardworking Iowans. Her ability to build consensus and deliver results reflects the kind of leadership needed in Washington.

“As the campaign moves forward, we are confident Hinson will continue to champion policies that promote growth, innovation and prosperity for all Americans. AFP Action looks forward to supporting her in the general election and working alongside her to advance solutions that create a stronger future for Iowa and the country.”

AFP Action endorsed Hinson in early May, citing her track record of advocating for lower taxes, reduced regulatory burdens, and policies that support job creation and economic growth, as well as her commitment to accountability and limited government.

Today, AFP Action announced a $6.3 million ad blitz into 2026 Senate states, including Iowa. The campaign highlights the rising cost of living — groceries, gas, and everyday goods — and elevates Hinson’s pro-growth solutions to address the problem.

New AFP Action Ad Highlights How Roy Cooper’s Policies Would Make Life More Expensive for North Carolinians

mwinston on June 2, 2026

RALEIGH, NC – As first reported by Politico, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced a $6.3 million ad buy in six U.S. Senate battleground states, including North Carolina. The ads focus on cost-of-living policies, including how Roy Cooper’s energy policies as governor would have cost the average North Carolina family $434 more in electricity costs a year. In contrast, Michael Whatley will support policies that unleash American energy and in turn lower the cost of living.

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

“Roy Cooper will put his party’s progressive agenda over commonsense solutions to address cost-of-living issues that are hurting North Carolina families. As governor, he vetoed tax cuts that put more money back in the pockets of North Carolinians. Roy Cooper would be more of the status quo in Washington, putting his party’s agenda first.

“Michael Whatley is tired of Washington’s gridlock and career politicians failing the people who elected them. Whatley has a plan to lower taxes, cut spending, and unleash American energy. Whatley will put North Carolina families first.”

AFP Action Launches New Ad Hitting Pappas’ Record on Costs

gbartlinski on June 2, 2026

Concord, NH – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced a new $750,000 ad buy in support of John Sununu for U.S. Senate, drawing a sharp contrast between Sununu’s proven record of fiscal discipline and economic freedom and Chris Pappas’ rubber-stamp record of blank checks, inflation, and anti-American energy policies.

The ad buy comes in direct response to Pappas himself. AFP Action had a simple response: maybe Pappas should remember that he voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, which included billions in new taxes on American energy that New Hampshire families are still paying for today.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott said the following:

“Every time Washington wanted a blank check to fuel more inflation, Chris Pappas said yes. The Granite State has seen his record firsthand, and we cannot afford to send that record to the United States Senate. With Pappas, the new normal is more out-of-pocket costs and anti-American energy policies that keep prices high.

“John Sununu has already delivered for New Hampshire—keeping taxes low, cutting red tape, and building a stronger economy for families and businesses. That is the leadership the Granite State deserves in the United States Senate.”
