Grand Rapids, Michigan – While Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin claims she’ll stand up for Michigan families in the U.S. Senate, the truth is that he’s been a rubber-stamp for the Biden-Harris agenda. During her short time in office, she’s shown that she puts party first.

In the debate, Slotkin desperately tried to tell voters that, if elected, she would put them first, but in reality, she votes with the Biden-Harris Administration 100% of the time.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Tim Golding released the following statement:

“Far from getting fresh new leadership, a vote for Slotkin is a vote for more of the same broken policies of the past four years. Once she crosses into the Beltway, Slotkin ignores the needs of hard-working Michiganders and goes to work advancing her party’s radical progressive agenda—even if that means ending the filibuster, raising taxes, or ending the Right to Work by supporting the PRO Act.”

BACKGROUND:

To date this cycle, AFP and AFP Action have reached out to more than 9 million voters — in nearly 650 federal and state races across the country. In close races, one-on-one outreach can be the critical difference. AFP Action’s highly targeted layered approach of doors, phones, mail, and ads is proven to be the most effective way to engage and persuade key voters. Our grassroots teams are out in full force as we head into the final stretch of the campaign this Fall.

State Sen. Carrie Buck (SD-5), Lori Rogich (SD-11), Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama (AD-2), and Assemblyman Greg Haffen (AD-36) all garnered the endorsement of AFP Action and LIBRE Action for their commitment to increasing opportunities for all Nevadans. These candidates will champion fiscally responsible policies that will help combat the high cost-of-living crisis facing the Battle Born State.

LIBRE Action Senior Advisor Eddie Diaz released the following statement: 

“The Latino vote is set to be a crucial factor in shaping the outcomes of Nevada elections. This is why LIBRE Action is excited to mobilize Latinos in favor of candidates Buck, Rogich, Kasama, and Hafen.

To move in the right direction, we need these leaders who will champion solutions to expand growth and opportunities in the economy.” 

Endorsed Candidates: 

State Sen. Carrie Buck (SD-5) 

State Sen. Carrie Buck is a trusted leader on school choice in the legislature and brings her experience as a principal of both a charter and a public school to her role. She’s been a fierce advocate for the state’s Opportunity Scholarship and has fought for increased school choice in Nevada. Aside from education, she is a leading voice on health care reforms, sponsoring legislation that lowers licensing requirements for medical professionals. 

Lori Rogich (SD-11) 

As a parent of a child in the public school system, Rogich understands the need for a more personalized approach to education for Nevada’s students and will oppose a one-size-fits-all approach to schooling in the legislature. She will also be a strong advocate for small businesses by cutting burdensome regulations and red tape. 

Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama (AD-2) 

Assemblywoman Kasama has been a strong advocate for expanding Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), recognizing the need for unique and expanded opportunities for Nevada’s students. Additionally, Kasama will fight for health care reform and increase access to Nevadans. 

Assemblyman Greg Haffen (AD-36)

NASHVILLE, TN – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action announced their endorsement for State Rep. Elaine Davis for her reelection to the 18th seat in the Tennessee House of Representatives.

Tori Venable, AFP Action Senior Advisor for Tennessee, released the following statement: 

“We are thrilled to announce our support for State Representative Elaine Davis. She is an incredible policy champion who has a strong track record of fighting for lower taxes, better educational opportunities, and more liberty for hard-working Tennesseans. As a wife and mother, Representative Davis understands the importance of making Tennessee a more prosperous state for where families can succeed.

CINCINNATI, OH – After tonight’s 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 in border security. Orlando Sonza will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground, and infrastructure.
• A vote for Greg Landsman is a vote to keep veterans in a broken VA system.
• In 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, and he must be held accountable.
• Orlando Sonza will be a man of action and work on day one to get Ohio and our country’s economy back on track. Cincinnatians want to turn the page for OH-01 and usher in a new era of economic growth.

Senior Advisor Donovan O’Neil released the following statement:

“Tonight, Orlando Sonza shared a vision for a stronger Ohio, not more of the economic uncertainty ushered in by the broken policies of Greg Landsman.

“It’s time to turn the page on Greg Landsman for OH-01, and Orlando Sonza is the leader Ohioans deserve. An Army veteran, Sonza has the experience needed to secure the border and reignite the Ohio economy.” 

CINCINNATI, OH – While Greg Landsman claims he fairly represents a “very moderate, pragmatic, middle-of-the-road district,” the truth is that he’s been a rubber-stamp for the radical Biden-Harris agenda.

In the debate, Landsman failed to own the economic failures of the Biden-Harris administration, and voters need to hold him accountable for skyrocketing cost-of-living, energy prices, and failing border security.

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

“Ohioans won’t be fooled by Landsman’s performance during the debate. He’s voted in lockstep with the Biden-Harris administration, and he must be held accountable. Rather than standing up for Buckeye values in Congress, Landsman has caused the cost-of-living in Ohio to skyrocket, and it’s time to turn the page on new leadership.

“Orlando Sonza is an Army veteran and former assistant Hamilton County prosecutor with the vision to combat Ohio’s cost-of-living crisis and get the American economy and border security back on track.”  

MISSOULA, MT – After the debate between Jon Tester and Tim Sheehy, AFP Action is highlighting five key takeaways:

• Senator Tester has failed to secure the southern border and Montana. Tim Sheehy will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground and infrastructure.
• Tester 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. 
• A vote for Senator Tester is a vote to keep veterans in a broken VA system.
• In the debate, Tester desperately tried to distance himself from the economic failures of the Biden-Harris administration, but he has voted with the president nearly 100% of the time.
• Tim Sheehy will be a man of action and work on day one to get Montana and our country’s economy back on track. Montanans want to turn the page on Tester’s nearly 20 years in Washington, DC.

Senior Advisor Jesse Ramos released the following statement: 

“Tonight, Tim Sheehy shared a vision for a stronger Montana, not more of the economic uncertainty ushered in by the policies of Jon Tester. For nearly 20 years, Jon Tester has said one thing in Montana and voted another way in Washington, DC. Meanwhile, Sheehy has spent his career as a Navy SEAL serving our country. 

“It’s time to turn the page on career-politician Jon Tester and Tim Sheehy is the leader Montanans deserve. A businessman who has created jobs right here in Montana, Sheehy has the experience to reignite the economy.” 

MISSOULA, MT – While Jon Tester attempts to defend the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to secure the southern border, AFP Action is highlighting the endangered senator’s border security stance (or lack thereof): 

• Jon Tester was the deciding vote to kill an amendment that would have provided funding for constructing a border fence. 
• Jon Tester was the deciding vote to kill an amendment that would have provided $500 million for walls and fences along the southwest border. 
• Jon Tester has continuously questioned the need for a border wall, going on the record to say he “is not in favor…of building a fence or wall.” In 2019, he again criticized a physical wall at the southern border. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Ramos released the following statement: 

“Amid the Biden-Harris border crisis, every town and city has become a border town. Fentanyl and dangerous narcotics are pouring in through the southern border and Jon Tester and the Biden-Harris administration have done little to secure the border.  

“It’s time for action and not more of the same rhetoric pushed by Senator Tester. When elected, Tim Sheehy will fight to secure the border by increasing troops on the ground, investing in technology and boots on the ground at the southern border. Tester has has nearly 20 years in Washington, DC and our state has become less safe.”
