“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.”

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.”

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.”
