AFP Action Rallies Behind John Sununu for U.S. Senate 

 As reported by Fox News, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today made its third U.S. Senate endorsement of the 2026 mid-term cycle, with the endorsement of John Sununu for U.S. Senate.  

With an election year that has the potential to reshape Washington’s policy landscape for the next decade, AFP Action is signaling an early and aggressive commitment to defending and building strong limited-government policy coalitions in Congress.  

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento issued the following statement: 

“John Sununu is exactly the kind of principled leader New Hampshire needs in the U.S. Senate. His deep roots in the Granite State and proven record of advancing limited government principles, cutting wasteful spending, and driving smart regulatory reform make him uniquely qualified to represent New Hampshire’s values in Washington.  

“Sununu understands that New Hampshire families want less government interference and more opportunity — and he’s shown time and again that he’ll fight for both. This is the moment to unite behind a proven leader who can win — and govern — with the vision New Hampshire deserves.  

“This race isn’t just about 2026 — it’s about securing a freer, more prosperous future for New Hampshire and the country. Americans for Prosperity Action is proud to bring the full force of our grassroots to this race, where it’s critical we rally behind a candidate who not only understands the issues but has the credibility and track record to deliver real results.” 

Without limited-government majorities in Congress, strong pro-growth policies that bolster individual liberty, fiscal restraint, and regulatory reform would be out of reach. With AFP’s 37 permanent grassroots chapters, a presence in all 50 states, and AFP Action hitting the ground earlier and harder than ever, we’re executing a bold, long-term strategy for winning elections that lead to winning policies.  

AFP Action Senior Advisor Greg Moore released the following statement:  

“John E. Sununu is an unapologetic and proven champion of New Hampshire values like limited accountable government, personal responsibility and free markets.  He is the perfect antidote for what’s wrong with Washington today and will make the Granite State proud in the U.S. Senate.  We need more strong, principled leaders like him serving in Congress and we are thrilled that he’s running again. 

“That’s why American for Prosperity Action is proudly endorsing Senator Sununu and we are committed to ensuring that he gets elected next November.  We will put our unrivalled grassroots operation in full support of this effort and will work to ensure that this race becomes about the issues that matter most to New Hampshire residents and not about the political noise that has become a feature of politics lately.” 

In 2024, AFP and AFP Action engaged in a record-breaking 647 races, knocking on 20 million doors, and reaching 30 million voters. This cycle is expected to significantly exceed those 2024 metrics across the board. Over the past year, AFP’s grassroots army has already been out connecting with Americans in key states like Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Ohio, talking to voters about their top concerns and their views on important issues like the economy, tax policy, border security, regulatory reform, health care, energy and more. The valuable insights gathered through those conversations will be acquired by AFP Action to help shape the 2026 strategy.   

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. 

AFP Action on Control of the U.S. Senate: “2025 Starts Now.”

ARLINGTON, VA – As media reports now confirm majority control of the U.S. Senate will flip to the Republican Party, Americans for Prosperity President and CEO and AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Seidel issued the following statement:

“2025 starts now. In a year in which policy decisions in Washington, D.C. could define a generation, we are glad that Americans will have the right voices in the U.S. Senate to provide the vision and leadership the country requires. We said from the beginning that this will be the most unpredictable election cycle in recent memory and prioritizing the U.S. Senate gave us our best opportunity to elect candidates who can prevent the very worst policy threats and offer a better alternative. That’s why we backed strong candidates who had the principles and backbone to win, to lead, and to solve the greatest challenges facing our country. 

“This is Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and AFP Action’s largest effort in our 20-year history. Our grassroots teams have been talking with voters for the past two years and have made more than 19.5 million total voter contacts. But our work is just beginning. While the election marks the end of operations for other groups, our sister organization AFP will continue to make their voices heard, helping to pass the public policy these candidates were elected to achieve. For those policymakers committed to championing policy solutions, they will have no stronger, more committed, or more effective ally than AFP. For those who forget that the American people expect principled public policy that helps improve their lives, AFP will be here to remind them.

“While majorities matter, they are never enough. We need to demonstrate every day why policies grounded in the core American principles of freedom and empowerment do far more to spread prosperity than top-down government control, no matter which party advocates it. The American people deserve policies that help improve their lives and AFP will never waver in our defense of core limited government principles and the freedom and opportunity that comes with them.” 

“Finally, we congratulate President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance on their victory. Their administration will face serious and daunting challenges, but there will be opportunity to advance policy solutions to address them. Americans continue to struggle to afford gas and groceries, the country’s finances are unsustainable, and a significant majority of Americans believe our country is headed in the wrong direction. Just as we have always done, AFP stands ready to work towards solutions on these important problems. Americans made their voices heard; now is the time to deliver on the promise of a better future. The stakes could not be higher, and failure is not an option.”

AFP Action Announces $1.25M Ad Buy Tying Casey to Pennsylvania Inflation 

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is calling out Bob Casey for his failure to address inflation in a new $1.25 million ad buy in the Keystone State. 

The ads are part of a major $5.75 ad buy targeting key Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. 

The Pennsylvania ads – Can’t Afford Casey and A Fresh Voice  tie Senator Bob Casey to the historic inflation facing Pennsylvania families and highlight David McCormick as a common-sense leader who can help reignite the Pennsylvania economy.   

 

 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Emily Greene released the following statement: 

“Pennsylvanians deserve better than career politician Bob Casey and his unwavering support for the Biden-Harris economic agenda. Casey has supported trillions of dollars in government spending directly responsible for the high inflation and rising costs burdening Pennsylvania families and businesses today.  

“Dave McCormick is the leader we need. He will work hard to rein in reckless spending, cut costly regulations, and unleash American energy to drive our economy forward. Pennsylvanians cannot afford another six years of Bob Casey. It’s time for a fresh voice to get the job done.” 

BACKGROUND: 

To date this cycle, AFP Action has reached out to more than 7.5 million voters — in more than 400 federal and state races across the country. In close races, one-on-one outreach can be the critical difference.

Our grassroots teams will be out in full force as we head into the final stretch of the campaign in the Fall. 

AFP Action’s Latest $1.25M Ad Buy Highlights Real Wisconsin Voters Betrayed by Tammy Baldwin

Madison, WI – This week, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) highlights real Wisconsin voters suffering the severe consequences of Tammy Baldwin’s relentless support of radical spending policies in a $1.25 million ad buy airing across the Badger State.

“Tammy Baldwin spent a trillion dollars on the Inflation Reduction Act. It did not help us.” – Jackie B., Tigerton, WI

“When you need to fix the economy, you take it to a businessman. He understands what it takes to be successful” – Bobbie S., Sheboygan, WI 

The Wisconsin ads feature testimonials of real Wisconsin voters who feel betrayed by Tammy Baldwin’s support of radical spending policies directly responsible for high inflation and rising costs. These voters are calling for real change and share why they believe Eric Hovde is the problem-solving leader who can help reignite Wisconsin’s economy. 

 AFP Action Senior Advisor Megan Novak made the following statement:

“Career politician Tammy Baldwin continues to fail Wisconsinites. Her relentless support of reckless government spending and lockstep voting record with the Biden-Harris administration is directly responsible for the economic uncertainty, high inflation, and rising costs burdening Wisconsinites today.”

“Eric Hovde is the problem-solving leader that Wisconsinites need. As a businessman, he understands the issues and promises to cut spending, remove costly regulations, and unleash American energy independence. Hovde is committed to representing Wisconsin and determined to work hard to get our economy back on a path to prosperity.”

The ads are part of a major $5.75 million ad buy targeting key Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
