MACOMB, MI — While Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Abdul El-Sayed want Michiganders to believe more government control is the answer to their problems, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is on doorsteps in Macomb County with a different answer: Mike Rogers’ vision for a Michigan with lower energy bills and more jobs in the auto industry, built by Michiganders instead of dictated by Washington.

Tim Golding, senior advisor to AFP Action Michigan, released the following statement:

“While national progressive figures fly into Detroit to sell Michiganders on the same failed socialist ideas that have hollowed out cities and driven up costs across the country, we’re on the ground in Macomb County – talking with real voters about what actually works.

“Mike Rogers understands that Michigan families need lower energy bills, good-paying jobs in the auto and defense industries, and skilled trades training for their kids. And that doesn’t come from bigger government.

“Give more power and control to Washington, or lower energy costs and bring manufacturing jobs back to Michigan? That’s the choice in front of Michigan voters. We’re confident they’ll choose jobs and lower bills over more government control.”

Today’s AFP Action and LIBRE Action canvassing event in Macomb is part of a broader door-to-door effort across Michigan. Volunteers are talking with voters about energy costs, manufacturing jobs, the price of groceries and gas, and the solutions Mike Rogers is offering to fix them.

Lansing, MI — Ahead of tonight’s Michigan Democrat Senate debate, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) Senior Advisor for Michigan Tim Golding released the following statement:

“Tonight’s debate will offer Michigan voters a clear window into how Democrats think about the problems facing this state: more Washington, more government control, and more of the same policies that drove up costs in the first place. Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed may disagree on tactics, but they share the same fundamental belief — that the answer to Washington’s failures is more Washington.

“Michigan families know better: the cost of living didn’t spike because government wasn’t involved enough in their lives. It spiked because of runaway spending, burdensome regulations, and energy policies that made everything more expensive. 

“Mike Rogers is running on a different vision for Michigan, one built on lower taxes, less spending, unleashing American energy, and cutting regulations that strangle small businesses. That’s how you put money back in people’s pockets and create the kind of economic opportunity this state has been waiting for.”

“Tonight, voters will watch two candidates argue over how much bigger to make government. Rogers is focused on getting Washington out of the way and letting Michigan thrive.”
