COLUMBUS, OH – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action), today, announced its endorsement of Orlando Sonza for the District 01 House of Representatives seat. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor for Ohio, Donovan O’Neil, released the following statement:    

 “At a time when inflation is at an all-time high, AFP Action is excited to back Orlando Sonza, who has the leadership necessary to improve the lives of all Ohioans. He is a champion of fiscal stewardship, supporting tax reductions and opposing raising the minimum wage. He understands the arduous consequences of ‘Bidenomics,’ and he is committed to implementing policies that will encourage economic growth.   

“As a former military officer and graduate of West Point, Orlando Sonza knows what it takes to keep our nation safe. A son of immigrants, he can speak to the importance of securing the southern border while also working to fix our broken immigration system.  His pursuit to allow safe and legal immigration, as well as his stance on taxes and energy independence, proves that he is prepared to help pass common sense solutions in Washington, D.C. to expand freedom and opportunity for all Americans.”    

Arlington, VA – Americans for Prosperity Action Senior Advisor Emily Seidel made the following statement after tonight’s New Hampshire primary results: 

“Tonight’s results in New Hampshire show that Nikki Haley is closing the gap and that she is the clear alternative for voters who are ready to close the book on the toxic Biden-Trump political era. This is still an uphill battle. Now all eyes turn to South Carolina, where she has a steeper road ahead.  

“For the past several months, we’ve been engaged in races for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and presidential levels to prevent a scenario where one party progressive rule comes to Washington, D.C. at a time when our country can least afford it. If Republicans nominate Donald Trump, we risk a repeat of the past three elections and the very real threat of full progressive control increases dramatically. This is why Joe Biden and the Democrats want him to be the nominee. The stakes for our country simply couldn’t be higher. 

“Our teams will continue talking to South Carolina voters in support of Nikki Haley. We are laser focused on electing the candidates who can be the firewall preventing one party progressive rule of the federal government. We have three ways to win: the Senate, the House, and the presidential primary. Through our multi-pronged effort we are prepared to get this done.   

“I’m proud of our activists’ ongoing efforts. Despite challenging conditions, their support shows that AFP Action consistently takes principled and tough action when our country needs it most.”

 Haley Is the Only Candidate Standing Between Americans and Another Four Years of Biden

Arlington, VA – Americans for Prosperity Action Senior Advisor Emily Seidel made the following statement after tonight’s Iowa caucus results:

“Nikki Haley did exactly what she needed to in Iowa and is in a strong position heading to New Hampshire where it’s a two-person race and she is within striking distance of Trump. Ron DeSantis poured everything he could into Iowa because it was his only shot at changing the dynamics of the race, but the reality is that he’s polling in single digits in New Hampshire and South Carolina with no path forward. We’ve said all along that this is a marathon, not a sprint and Nikki Haley is surging in New Hampshire, where history has shown eventual nominees gain critical momentum into South Carolina and the Super Tuesday states.

“Poll after poll shows that Nikki Haley would crush Joe Biden in a general election, winning some battleground states by double digits and delivering a landslide Republican election that would sweep candidates at every level into office. She is not only able to win, she’s also able to write a new chapter for America and turn the page on the failed policies of the Biden Administration.

“Republicans cannot afford to put control of Washington at risk by nominating Donald Trump – who is by far the weakest candidate against Joe Biden. At a time when millions of Americans are struggling, Nikki Haley is the only candidate who can defeat Biden, unify the nation, and help ensure a brighter future for our country.”

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tyler Raygor said the following:

“Tonight was a strong showing for Haley, and heading into New Hampshire and South Carolina she’s exactly where she needs to be to make this a true two-person race.

“In the past few months, we have spoken with hundreds of thousands of Iowans, 50,000 of whom met our activists on their doorsteps in just the past week, despite the storms.

“But while all eyes have been on Iowa, AFP Action has been speaking to voters throughout the early and Super Tuesday states and reached more than one million voters. This is a marathon and not a sprint – AFP Action is uniquely positioned to continue amplifying Haley’s positive message of a new chapter in American politics.”

AFP Action is helping propel Nikki Haley forward with an unmatched on-the-ground effort and layered mail and digital strategy. In just seven short weeks since endorsing Haley for President, AFP Action has reached out to more than 1 million voters and is putting to use the knowledge acquired from interviews with more than 6 million aligned primary voters through the summer and fall of 2023 to build support for Nikki Haley. One week ago, AFP Action launched a $27 million mail, digital, and grassroots campaign in the early states titled “Strongest” that shows why Nikki Haley is without question the strongest candidate Republicans could run against Joe Biden in November.

AFP Action has hundreds of activists and volunteers out in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Super Tuesday states, and beyond. The energy and enthusiasm AFP Action is hearing at the doors has translated into clear momentum for Haley in the polls. In New Hampshire, AFP Action’s polling shows that Haley has closed a 14-point gap and is now statistically tied with Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup. The Wall Street Journal’s latest polling shows that Haley beats Biden by 17 points in a general election matchup.

Arlington, VA—Americans for Prosperity Action is launching an initial  $27 million mail, digital, and grassroots campaign this week in the states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia focusing on how Nikki Haley is without question the strongest candidate to stop Joe Biden and help elect Republicans up-and-down the ballot across the country.

The campaign’s digital and connected TV ad, titled “Strongest”, highlights that Nikki Haley crushes Joe Biden by double digits in a general election matchup and she even beats him in the swing states that Trump lost in 2020. While poll after poll shows Donald Trump is the weakest candidate against Joe Biden, the numbers show Nikki Haley is by far the strongest candidate to turn the page on the past and beat Joe Biden in November.

WATCH: “Strongest”

Americans for Prosperity Action Director Nathan Nascimento said:

“Nikki Haley is by far the strongest candidate Republicans could run against Joe Biden, and no one else is even close. Nikki Haley would boost Republicans up and down the ballot, with AFP Action’s internal polls showing she is leading Biden in some critical swing states by double digits. With the criminal trials and the negative baggage of Donald Trump, our country can’t risk four more years of Joe Biden. If Republicans want to win in 2024, there is no stronger choice than Nikki Haley for President.”

Since its endorsement, AFP Action has reached out to more than 650,000 voters and is putting to use the knowledge acquired from interviews with more than 6 million Republican primary voters through the summer and fall of 2023 to build support for Nikki Haley. The energy and enthusiasm AFP Action is hearing at the doors has translated into clear momentum for Haley in the polls.

Orlando, FL—Tonight, Americans for Prosperity Action Florida (AFP Action FL) congratulated Erika Booth as she advanced in the primary to serve as the Republican nominee for House District 35. 

AFP Action FL was proud to support Booth’s vision of creating a bottom-up system of government that works to prosper the American people and deployed its grassroots efforts to educate voters ahead of election day about her policy positions. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor in Florida, Skylar Zander, made the following statement: 

“We’re thrilled to see that residents of Eastern Orange and Osceola counties agree that Erika’s values on economic progress and reforming healthcare reflect what’s best for hardworking families and businesses. 

“As a public-school teacher and having served on the Osceola County School Board, AFP Action FL was glad to rally behind Erika’s outlook on meeting the needs of individual learners and improving our education system. 

“AFP Action FL knocked on tens of thousands of doors and spoke with thousands of voters to support Erika this primary. We will continue to use its grassroots base to educate and mobilize voters in support of Booth until the January 16, 2024, special general election.”

ARLINGTON, VA – Americans for Prosperity Action is launching a major new ad buy during tonight’s Republican presidential debate urging Americans to turn the page on Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Airing in the first four early primary states – Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada – the ads running on cable and connected TV will point to the damage Joe Biden has done with complete control of Washington and make the case that Joe Biden will win again if Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee.

WATCH: “TO BEAT JOE BIDEN, WE HAVE TO MOVE ON FROM DONALD TRUMP” [30s, 30s, 60s]

“I’m just so tired of it all. The drama and chaos of Donald Trump. It’s all about him, and not about us.

“The obsession with the 2020 election, revenge, and now the indictments. It’s exhausting.

“And none of it helps us beat Joe Biden.

“It doesn’t have to be like this.

“To beat Joe Biden, we have to move on from Donald Trump.”

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento said:

“Joe Biden is hurting our country, and with Donald Trump on the ballot, Joe Biden will win again. Americans are calling out for a better choice. They’re ready to turn the page on the dysfunction and elect someone who can get back to advancing good policies that will improve peoples’ lives. AFP Action’s grassroots army is ready to help Americans break the downward spiral of our politics and put a better choice on the ballot next November. At tonight’s debate, we’re looking forward to seeing each of the candidates share how they intend to move our country forward and win in 2024.”

For more on what AFP Action wants to see from candidates in tonight’s debate, read the memo released yesterday from Emily Seidel, Senior Advisor to AFP Action and CEO at Americans for Prosperity.

To date this year, Americans for Prosperity has communicated with over 2.6 million potential Republican primary voters in key battleground states to understand what issues matter most to them and what they are looking for in candidates for state and federal office next year. AFP Action will acquire this data to bring new voters into the primary process and help elect better candidates. Last year, AFP and AFP Action engaged in 457 races, knocking on more than 7 million doors, delivering over 100 million pieces of mail, and reaching millions more voters through phone and email.

ARLINGTON, VA – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) released two new ads urging voters to move on from Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The digital and connected TV ads will total $1 million across the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.

Watch “Electability”

Will Republicans win this time?

Beating Joe Biden is the only way to get our country back on the right track.

Nominating Trump again would hand Democrats another win and ensure four more years of President Biden.

Republicans need a new leader, someone who will win the fight and get elected.

If we nominate Trump, Republicans lose and Biden wins.

Watch “Unelectable”

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento said:

“We’ve seen the kind of damage Joe Biden can do with complete control of Washington. That’s why AFP Action is engaging earlier than ever in primaries – including the Republican presidential primary – to ensure that Americans have better choices in 2024. Voters are signaling urgency around choosing a Republican presidential candidate who can win the general election, make Biden answer for his failures, and get things done that will put America back on track. AFP Action is ready to help Americans turn the page and elect a better candidate who can lead our country forward.”

To date this year, AFP has already communicated with over 2.6 million potential Republican primary voters in key battleground states to understand what issues matter most to them and what they are looking for in candidates for state and federal office next year. AFP Action will acquire this data to bring new voters into the primary process and ensure that we elect better candidates.

In 2022, AFP and AFP Action engaged in 457 races, knocking on more than 7 million doors, delivering over 100 million pieces of mail, and reaching millions more voters through phone and email.

Announces $76.3 Million Raised in First Six Months of 2023 With $74.6 Million COH

Arlington, VA – With the country facing its most consequential election in a generation next year, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced today it has raised $76.3 million in the first six months of 2023, according its latest filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).  With more than $74.6 million cash-on-hand, AFP Action is well-positioned to make a major impact across hundreds of critical races heading into the 2024 election.

“AFP Action is laser focused on advancing policies that will address America’s biggest challenges and to do that we are committed to helping the best candidates win in 2024,” AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento said today. “This means engaging in primaries earlier, bringing new voters into the political process and empowering millions of citizen activists to turn the page on the current political era. We are humbled by the tremendous financial support from our donors and grateful for the growing support for our millions of grassroots activists across the country.  This FEC report is a reminder that AFP Action is the best resourced and most effective grassroots force in the country, and we are prepared to invest the resources needed to help elect the types of leaders America deserves next year.”

To date this year, AFP has already communicated with over 1.4 million potential Republican primary voters in key battleground states to understand what issues matter most to them and their families, and what they are looking for in candidates for state and federal office next year. AFP Action will acquire this data to bring new voters into the primary process and deploy its grassroots army to elect the best candidates. 

While some organizations focus their resources on large-scale television ads, AFP Action leverages its unparalleled grassroots and data capabilities to take a targeted, layered approach to engagement that combines digital, mail, and one-on-one outreach. This method has proven highly effective and ensures the highest return on investment for each dollar spent. AFP Action is currently distributing mail and running several digital ads in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada:
