Sonza Bests Landsman in Third Debate 

CINCINNATI, OH – After the third and final debate between Greg Landsman and Orlando Sonza, AFP Action is highlighting four key takeaways: ​​​​​​​

  • Rep. Landsman has failed to secure the southern border and Ohio, flip-flopping on whether the Biden-Harris administration has succeeded with border security. Orlando Sonza will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground, and infrastructure. 
  • During the debate, Landsman failed to own the economic failures of the Biden-Harris administration while he has voted with the president nearly 100% of the time.
  • Americans agree that now is not the time to raise taxes. Orlando Sonza has promised to renew the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  
  • Orlando Sonza will be a man of action and work on day one to get Ohio and our country’s economy back on track. Southwest Ohioans families and small businesses are ready to turn the page on Greg Landsman’s bad policies and elect a leader ready to fight for them. 

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

“Yesterday, Orlando Sonza showed Ohioans that he has our back. He knows and understands the issues that we are most concerned about: making life more affordable, restoring order to our border, and keeping taxes low.  

“Greg Landsman has had the opportunity to show up for Southwest Ohio, and instead, he votes for his party and his politically connected allies.  

“AFP Action continues to support Orlando Sonza through Election Day to be sure that he is elected to represent families and small businesses in Southwest Ohio.”  

Landsman Flip-Flops on Border Stance

CINCINNATI, OH – During tonight’s Ohio 1st Congressional District debate, while Greg Landsman attempted to defend the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to secure the southern border, AFP Action is highlighting the endangered representative’s flip-flopping border security stance: 

On January 17, 2024, Landsman voted for H.Res. 957 

On July 25, 2024, Landsman voted against H.Res.1371 

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

“Rep. Landsman is continually proving to voters in Southwest Ohio that his priority is voting for legislation that keeps him in power. After supporting the same condemnation earlier this year, Landsman has shifted his stance to cater to the most extreme factions of his party.

“Landsman has shown his constituents that he has no true convictions as a member of Congress, and Ohio border security is suffering because of it.” 

AFP Action FL: Simon Bests Parks in Debate 

Tallahassee, FL – After today’s debate between State Senator Corey Simon and Daryl Parks to represent District 3, Americans for Prosperity Action Florida (AFPA-FL) is highlighting the following key takeaways: 

  • Daryl Parks does not have a real plan in place to deal with Florida’s necessary insurance reforms while Senator Simon has proven a pathway for Floridians by voting for key improvements to our marketplace.
  • Senator Simon has stood side-by-side with North Florida as we repair and recover from multiple storms and will continue to provide information on resources for those in need.
  • Senator Simon is working to keep Florida’s economy on track while Parks wants to raise taxes on families that are already hurting due to inflation.
  • While Daryl Parks is focused on partisan politics and dividing us, Senator Simon has worked across the aisle with Democrats and fellow Republicans to pass a balanced state budget that provides tax relief for all Floridians.  

AFPA-FL Senior Advisor, Skylar Zander, released the following statement: 

“Today, Senator Simon demonstrated his proven record of representing the needs of Tallahassee in the Legislature. He is a stronger choice with a clear vision for Florida unlike Daryl Parks who does not offer serious solutions to our greatest challenges. Senator Simon has the experience needed to continue to reform our insurance market, keep our economy growing, and usher in restoration after a difficult storm season. We need Senator Simon in office to continue defending North Florida values and we celebrate his debate victory today.”

Kiggans Bests Cotter Smasal in Debate 

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – After yesterday’s debate between Rep. Jen Kiggans and Missy Cotter Smasal, AFP Action is highlighting five key takeaways: 

  • Rep. Kiggans will continue holding the Biden-Harris administration accountable for their weak border security policies and has a proven record fighting for increased border security
  • In the debate, Cotter Smasal failed to demonstrate how she will boost the economy, secure the border, and fight for Veterans.  
  • During her first term in Congress, Rep. Kiggans successfully fought to reduce federal spending by helping to pass Washington’s first meaningful spending cuts in years. 
  • As a 10-year Navy veteran, Rep. Kiggans successfully fought to fully fund the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and provide them with their largest-ever budget through the Consolidated Appropriations Act during her first term in Congress. 
  • Rep. Kiggans’ voting record proves that she is the clear choice to continue to represent Virginia’s 2nd District. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Parrish released the following statement: 

“Yesterday, Rep. Jen Kiggans shared a vision for a strong Virginia by citing the critical legislation she’s helped to pass in Congress while also holding the Biden-Harris administration accountable for their weak policies negatively impacting Virginia families. 

“Jen Kiggans is the leader Virginia deserves, and she has the experience and proven record needed to represent the 2nd District, secure the border, and reignite the economy in the Commonwealth.”
