AFP Action Congratulates Riley Moore on Winning WV-02 U.S. House Race  

CHARLESTON, W.Va.—Tonight, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) congratulated Riley Moore on his successful bid to represent West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District.  

Moore earned West Virginians’ votes for his commitment to restoring fiscal sanity in Washington, promising to prioritize border security, and his understanding of the cost-of-living crisis that’s been making life unaffordable across the Mountain State.    

AFP Action Senior Advisor and AFP WV State Director Jason Huffman issued the following statement after the race was called:   

“AFP Action is proud to have supported Riley Moore and ensured that West Virginians have principled and reliable representation in Washington. We applaud our grassroots activists and volunteers for supporting his successful bid for election to the U.S. House of Representatives. 

“With Riley Moore in Washington, AFP will be able to push back against radical and regressive policies and fight to put the American Dream back within reach.” 

This has been a record-breaking year as AFP and AFP Action separately engaged in a staggering 647 races, including 7 critical U.S. Senate races and 44 U.S. House races. AFP and AFP Action’s grassroots army across the country reached out to more than 19.5 million voters – AFP and AFP Action’s largest effort in our 20-year history. AFP Action’s engagement in federal races is critical as we get back to promoting candidates who will advance good policy in Washington and AFP and AFP Action’s engagement in state legislative races continues their commitment to championing policy solutions and limited government principles that empower states across the country. 

ICYMI: Don’t Miss AFP Action’s Ground Game

In case you missed it, Americans for Prosperity Action’s (AFP Action) nationwide grassroots engagement was featured yesterday in National Review Online.

With less than a week remaining before election day, AFP Action continues to ramp up canvassing efforts around the country– reaching a historic number of voters this election cycle, particularly in key battleground states like Pennsylvania. 

NRO Senior Writer Dan McLaughlin writes

“…AFP Action, it is closing in on a million doors knocked for McCormick in Pennsylvania, as part of a broader outreach of 2.3 million voter contacts (counting phone calls), as well as 636,000 doors knocked for Hovde in Wisconsin (and 1.4 million contacts), 665,000 doors knocked for Brown in Nevada (and 1.2 million contacts), and 212,000 doors knocked for Rogers in Michigan (and over 500,000 contacts).

“AFP Action’s House targets also include swing districts in key presidential states such as Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, as well as Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico, Ohio, Virginia, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, and California. The scale of its engagement in Michigan goes into the state legislature as well. And with a week left in the campaign, it plans to keep going.”

Brown Proves Facts Matter and Defeats Rosen in Debate


LAS VEGAS, NV – Sam Brown convincingly demonstrated the policy differences between himself and Jacky Rosen tonight in a clear debate victory. After the debate, AFP Action is highlighting key takeaways:

  • Senator Rosen has failed to secure the southern border and Nevada. Sam Brown will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground and infrastructure along the southern border.
  • Rosen backed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which did not lower inflation. Instead, the IRA has resulted in U.S. gas prices increasing by nearly 62%, natural gas prices spiking by more than 40 percent, and included a $250-billion-dollar Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program to fund liberal pet projects. 
  • In the debate, Rosen desperately tried to distance herself from the economic failures of the Biden-Harris administration, but she has voted with the president 93% of the time.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro released the following statement:

“Tonight, Nevadans heard from two candidates with very different visions for Nevada’s future.  Jacky Rosen was for all the big government spending that caused the inflation that has harmed Nevada’s economy.  Sam Brown is for common sense: making life more affordable, restoring order to our border, and keeping taxes low.”

Rosen Voted Against Securing U.S.-Mexico Border

LAS VEGAS, NV – Tonight, Jacky Rosen tried to make Nevadans believe she and her party have been strong about securing our southern border, the facts tell another story.  The failure of Biden-Harris and Rosen to secure the border has pushed our resources to the brink, contributing to a crisis at the southern border. Agents are understaffed and in need of increased technology – yet Rosen continued for six years to vote against policies that would strengthen American border security.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro released the following statement:

“Nevadans are troubled about the lack of order and security on the U.S.-Mexico border. They know it is wide open and have seen the deaths caused by the fentanyl our open border allows. But every time Jacky Rosen had an opportunity to do something about it, she instead kowtowed to party bosses and did nothing.  Sam Brown will defend our borders and keep Nevadans safe.”

Jacky Rosen’s Failed Energy Agenda

LAS VEGAS, NV – In tonight’s debate when asked about energy policy, Jacky Rosen attempted to confuse Nevadans about her votes that have caused gas and energy prices to skyrocket.  

Jacky Rosen backed the so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which was actually a green new deal spending monstrosity. Instead of lowering inflation, the IRA has resulted in U.S. gas prices increasing by nearly 62%, natural gas prices spiking by more than 40%, and for good measure included a $250-billion-dollar Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program to fund liberal pet projects.

Jacky Rosen and the Biden-Harris administration have been hostile to American energy. In the Senate, Sam Brown will support energy policies that prioritize American energy jobs and protect consumers. Brown will help empower Nevada’s energy industry and reignite American energy independence.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro released the following statement:

“There is a stark contrast in energy policy between Jacky Rosen and Sam Brown. Brown’s America-first policies prioritize Nevada jobs and consumers while Rosen has rubberstamped the misguided policies of the Biden-Harris administration. Under Rosen, costs have increased dramatically and it’s time for new leadership in Washington.”

Rosen’s Economic Record is Failing Nevadans

LAS VEGAS, NV – In tonight’s debate, Jacky Rosen attempted to confuse voters about her economic record after six years representing them in Washington, DC but Nevadans were not fooled. They know why they are struggling to make ends meet amid record inflation and a cost-of-living crisis, Bidenomics policies that Rosen voted for every step of the way.

Rosen backed the massive spending that led to 40-year high inflation, including the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which did not lower inflation, it poured gasoline on the inflation fire Bidenomics created with even more reckless spending.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ronnie Najarro released the following statement:

“Nevadans are hurting under Jacky Rosen’s watch and her lockstep support of Bidenomics has raised the cost of living to unbearable levels for too many Nevada households. Rosen was the tie-breaking vote in the Senate for all of the inflationary policies of the Biden-Harris administration and Nevadans see the results every time they go to the store.”

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.”
