AFP Action Endorses Three Champions in South Dakota State Legislative Races

Mike McCrone on May 11, 2026

Pierre, SD – Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced its endorsements for three candidates in this year’s state legislative races. 

AFP Action has endorsed the following candidates:

  • State Sen. Sue Peterson (SD-13) 
  • State Sen. Amber Hulse (SD-30)
  • State Rep. John Robert Hughes (HD-13)

All have proven themselves to be champions for AFP Action’s initiatives over the last year. Each has supported priorities like the REINS Act, advocated for small businesses, championed free speech legislation, voted for expanding education options, and pushed for transparency on new taxation proposals. This strong record is why they’ve earned AFP Action’s support, and they promise to continue advocating for those policies in next year’s legislative session.

AFP Action Senior Advisor Jennifer Beving released the following statement:

“Sen. Peterson, Sen. Hulse, and Rep. Hughes are exactly the type of people South Dakotans need working for them in Pierre. They have consistently fought for policies that favor working families, support small businesses, and empower taxpayers. We’re glad to wholeheartedly support these three for their reelection campaigns, and we look forward to working with them in the 2027 legislative session.” 

AFP Action Releases New Ads in Michigan Focused on Cost of Living Concerns, Mike Rogers’ Solutions 

Kaitlin Zurdosky on May 11, 2026

LANSING, MI – As seen in the Detroit News, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) released two new ads, ‘Job’ and ‘Real Results,’ which highlight Mike Rogers’ commitment to lowering costs for Michigan families by reducing burdensome regulations, cutting wasteful government spending, and advancing policies that strengthen the state’s economy. 

The ads underscore Rogers’ focus on tackling the issues that matter most to voters, including the rising costs of housing, groceries, energy, and childcare, and present a clear contrast on the need for real solutions that deliver relief for working families. 

Thanks to AFP Action’s permanent, on-the-ground infrastructure in Michigan, the organization has been knocking doors for months to engage voters on the policies that will bring down costs and expand opportunity across the state.

mwinston on May 7, 2026

RALEIGH, NC – Today, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) Action released a new ad, Fresh Ideas, which draws a contrast between Michael Whatley’s solutions as a political newcomer to address the current cost of living crisis and the progressive policies supported by career politician Roy Cooper.

The ad comes on the heels of a new memo from AFP Action senior advisor Emily Seidel and Executive Director Nathan Nascimento urging Republicans to focus on cost-of-living issues or risk losing the Senate. In the letter, they write that “…every campaign event should answer one question—what are you doing to lower the cost of living for working families?”

Thanks to AFP Action’s permanent on-the-ground infrastructure in North Carolina, the organization has been knocking voter doors for months to share with voters how Whatley plans to bring down prices on housing, groceries, energy, and childcare.

AFP Action senior advisor for North Carolina Tyler Voigt released the following statement:

“We are just six months out from ending Roy Cooper’s 40-year political career. Cooper has shown time and time again that his progressive agenda comes first. He vetoed tax cuts and opposed the One Big Beautiful Bill which brought tax relief to North Carolina families. North Carolinians need fresh leadership, which is exactly what Michael Whatley will bring as the state’s next senator.”
