Waterbury, CT – After last night’s debate between George Logan and Rep. Jahana Hayes, AFP Action is highlighting three key takeaways:

• Rep. Jahana Hayes has failed to secure the southern border and protect Connecticut, George Logan will fight to keep our country and community safe.
• Rep. Jahana Hayes has failed to own her economic failures, and she must be held accountable for supporting the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous policies. 
• George Logan will take action on day one to lower taxes, reduce spending, and cut red tape to get Connecticut’s economy back on track. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Ross Connolly released the following statement:

“Connecticut needs a leader like George Logan, and last night he delivered exactly what he’s going to do to make Connecticut the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

“Rep. Hayes has supported the inflationary policies and reckless spending that has caused the economic disaster our state is experiencing. Logan is ready to clean up the mess caused by Rep. Hayes’ broken policies, secure our southern border, and restore prosperity for CT-05.”

Arlington, VA – As seen in NBC News, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is launching a wave of new ads featuring powerful testimonials from real voters across Pennsylvania, Ohio, Montana, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The $8.75 million campaign focuses on the devastating impacts of inflation and the consequences of failed border security policies backed by Senators Jon Tester (MT), Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey (PA), Tammy Baldwin (WI), and Representative Elissa Slotkin (MI).  

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

“These Senators have carelessly steered our economy and our country off course by supporting the failed radical progressive agenda of the Biden-Harris administration. The American people deserve better than the finger-pointing and excuses they get from Jon Tester, Jacky Rosen, Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey, Tammy Baldwin, and Elissa Slotkin. As AFP Action speaks with voters across the country, we hear a clear message: they want leadership that prioritizes their economic and border security concerns, not the interests of politicians in Washington, D.C. Yet these Senators refuse to take responsibility and continue to shift the blame. Americans need a new direction and that requires new leadership.” 

The testimonials in the ads are heart-wrenching. Jack K. from Scranton, PA, shares the devastating moment he discovered both of his parents dead from a Fentanyl overdose—a crisis that is growing out of control as a result of weak border security. 18,798 people have been killed by Fentanyl in Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, Aime D. from Canton, Ohio, expresses her despair about the economy: “The American Dream is dangling by a thread.” This sentiment resonates in Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as in Montana, which ranks in the top five for inflation nationwide. Joe F. from Missoula says: “It’s hard to deal with that. You know you have to decide what you have to cut back on what experiences you can’t let your kids have anymore.” 

Simultaneously, the ads present a path forward with Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy, first-generation American Bernie Moreno, business leader David McCormick, entrepreneur Eric Hovde, and former Rep. Mike Rogers—candidates ready to champion policies to reduce inflation, make life more affordable, and secure America’s southern border.

To date, this cycle, AFP Action and AFP are separately engaged in nearly 650 federal and state races throughout the country, with over 9 million citizen contacts including hundreds of state legislative races critical to shifting the policy landscape in a number of key states. 

DENVER, CO – Border security and immigration are top of mind for many Coloradans as our nation faces an unprecedented crisis at the southern border. But the truth is, Colorado has gotten less safe under the leadership of Yadira Caraveo. 

From the influx of Fentanyl in our communities to the presence of gangs right here in Colorado, Caraveo has failed to protect Coloradans from the border crisis. Under the Biden-Harris administration every state is a border state, and Coloradans deserve a leader like Gabe Evans who will work on day one to secure the southern border. Evans has pledged to increase technology, boots on the ground and infrastructure to help secure the southern border and secure Colorado. 

AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Mallory released the following statement: 

“While her political ads can make it sound like she supported border security, Colorado has gotten less safe under Caraveo’s watch.  

“Gabe Evans has a plan to secure the border and our communities by building a wall and supporting the brave men and women serving with Customs and Border Patrol. A supporter of immigration, Evans wants to make the American Dream achievable right here in Colorado.” 

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.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) and The LIBRE Initiative Action (LIBRE Action) are endorsing four additional names for election and reelection to the Nevada State Legislature. 

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.

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. Latinos and all Americans from all backgrounds continue to struggle with an unaffordable economy fueled by ineffective government policies. 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) 

A dedicated advocate for school choice, Haffen has supported legislation to expand funding and eligibility in Nevada’s educational choice scholarship program. He has consistently opposed job-killing labor proposals like collective bargaining and minimum wage increases.  

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.

“State Rep. Elaine Davis has earned our support for being a principled leader who is committed to making Tennessee a freer state. Her voice in the General Assembly is important, and we plan to put the full weight of our grassroots efforts behind her re-election effort.”

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.”
