AFP Action Backs former Congressman Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate

abarrett on August 1, 2024

Lansing, Michigan—Today Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) threw its support behind former Congressman Mike Rogers in his bid to serve as Michigan’s next Senator.

AFP Action endorsed Rogers for his commitment to lowering taxes, embracing energy abundance, and eliminating harmful regulations. If elected, Michiganders can look to him to oppose inflationary government spending and vote to secure the border that has been neglected by the current administration.

This endorsement rounds out AFP Action’s Senate “Firewall Strategy,” to prevent one-party progressive rule in Washington.

After the announcement, AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding issued the following statement:

“Michiganders are energized and motivated to send a policy champion like former Michigan Congressman Mike Rogers to the U.S. Senate. For years, Michigan’s Senators have prioritized special interests over the concerns of their constituents.

“By backing Mike Rogers, AFP Action is backing transformative policy that can renew America’s economy and reignite the American Dream: from keeping taxes low, to embracing an all-of-the-above approach to domestic energy production, to securing the border and opposing inflationary government spending, Michiganders can rely on Rogers to voice their concerns and stand up for their families. Now more than ever, this is a chance to send a proven leader back to Washington and say “no” to the inflationary spending and overburdensome regulations backed by Elissa Slotkin and her entrenched allies.”

In addition to its 24/7 grassroots operation, AFP Action will support Rogers’ bid with its best-in-class data and digital capabilities, including an initial $1.7 million ad buy in the Great Lake State for the month of August.

AFP Action Launches Million Dollar Ad Campaign Showing Why Eric Hovde is the Leader America Needs

abarrett on June 5, 2024

Madison, WI – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) launched a new $1 million campaign across the Badger State showing why Eric Hovde is the candidate America needs to lead our country back in the right direction.

This campaign includes digital, online, and connected TV ads streaming statewide showing why Eric Hovde is the right candidate to solve the problems Washington’s career politicians have caused by lowering costs, growing jobs, and securing our borders to keep Americans safe.

AFP Action announced its endorsement of Eric Hovde in February 2024. In early April, AFP Action launched its first ad campaign, a six-figure campaign supporting Hovde. In addition, our grassroots activists have been knocking doors since early April as part of AFP Action’s largest election engagement cycle to date.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Megan Novak released the following statement:

“Tammy Baldwin’s political record speaks for itself–nearly 40 years as a Washington insider who has voted in agreement with President Biden’s disastrous agenda 95% of the time. She’s nothing more than a rubber-stamp Democrat responsible for record high inflation, skyrocketing energy costs, and a crisis at our border. If she could have made a difference, she would have done it by now.

“Eric Hovde is unquestionably the right choice this election, and the reasons are abundantly clear. With his background as a successful businessman and entrepreneur, he possesses the real-world experience and problem solving skills necessary to navigate our broken political system and fix what career politicians like Tammy Baldwin have broken. Hovde will fight for common sense solutions that lower costs, fight inflation, and drive down our national debt. He’ll work to get government out of the way and stand up for better policies that make life better for all Americans.”

abarrett on February 21, 2024

MADISON, WI – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced support for Eric Hovde’s bid for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin.

AFP Action is getting involved earlier than ever before in federal and state primaries to elect better candidates who are strong advocates for policies that will improve the lives of all Americans.

Megan Novak, AFP Action Senior Advisor, issued the following statement:

“AFP Action is excited to back Eric Hovde, a candidate who will fight for economic freedom and policies that put our nation back on a path toward prosperity. As Americans struggle to make ends meet under Biden’s failing economy, career politicians like Tammy Baldwin and her support for runaway spending and inflationary policies are to blame. The economy is at the front of mind for voters this year and Eric Hovde is the leader Wisconsinites are looking for. One that puts Americans first, unleashes energy production, and fights for a more competitive economy that ensures opportunity for all.

“Wisconsinites cannot afford the Biden-Baldwin partnership any longer. That is why AFP Action is ready to put its full weight of grassroots capabilities behind Hovde, a candidate who can help lead our country forward and win.”
