ANCHORAGE, AK – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is proud to announce its endorsement of Nick Begich for Alaska’s at-large congressional seat.

Alaskans deserve a leader who embodies the independent spirit of the Last Frontier. Since her election, Mary Peltola has sided with the Biden-Harris administration each step of the way. Nick Begich is the leader who will stand up for Alaskans in Congress, fight to bring down the cost of living, and champion Alaska’s energy industry.

AFP Action is confident there is a path to victory in this race and our team of grassroots staff and volunteers are laser-focused on ensuring Begich is elected come November. This endorsement is part of AFP Action’s “Firewall Strategy” to prevent one-party progressive rule in Washington, DC.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Bethany Marcum released the following statement:

“AFP Action is proud and excited to endorse Nick Begich in his bid to unseat Mary Peltola in Congress. Begich has vast policy experience and a vision for fiscal restraint and responsibility. We are confident that in this two-way race, Begich is the best candidate to serve Alaskans across our great state.”

Endorsed Candidates:

Bishop will utilize her finance experience to champion responsible spending in Illinois by advocating for a balanced budget and reducing state debt. She will also cut red tape for Illinois businesses and workers.

Desi Anderson (HD-91)

A small business owner, Anderson deeply understands the negative impact taxes and overregulation have had on the Illinois economy. She is committed to cutting taxes and regulations in the legislature and will reign in government overspending. 

Gabby Shanahan (HD-97)

Gabby Shanahan has vast policy expertise from her time at the Illinois Policy Institute and will bring her extensive knowledge to a portfolio of issues.

Arlington, VA – As reported by CBS News, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is launching a massive new wave of ads highlighting how irresponsible policies supported by Senators Jon Tester (MT), Jacky Rosen (NV), Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey (PA), Tammy Baldwin (WI), and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (MI), have hurt our economy, and sent inflation soaring. The new ads will be backed by more than $10 million and air on digital and connected television.

One of the ads focuses on how Senator Bob Casey consistently put his party ahead of the people he represents, voting a staggering 98% with the Biden-Harris big-spending agenda that sent inflation through the roof. The ads also criticize Senators Tester, Rosen, Brown, and Baldwin as well as Rep. Slotkin, who is seeking a promotion, for their support of the $1.2 trillion Inflation Reduction Act, legislation that has cost families across the country an additional $1,000 every month.

AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento issued the following statement on the buy:

“These Senators drove our economy over a cliff by voting in lockstep with the Biden-Harris administration’s far-left progressive agenda, and now they want a do-over. Our country cannot afford it. Jon Tester, Jacky Rosen, Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey, Tammy Baldwin, and Elissa Slotkin have consistently sided with their party over their state. Their actions have made life unaffordable for millions of Americans, yet they continue to point the finger at everyone but themselves. Americans don’t need more excuses; they need new leadership. The policies they support make life harder, and it’s time to vote them out.”

At the same time, the ads contrast these failed policies with the promise of a brighter future under leaders like Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy, entrepreneur Eric Hovde, first-generation American Bernie Moreno, experienced former Rep. Mike Rogers, American veteran Sam Brown, and business leader David McCormick. Each of these candidates has committed to championing policies to combat inflation and eliminate needless barriers standing in the way of American businesses and entrepreneurs.
