AFP Releases Ad in Support of Sam Brown for US Senate

Today, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) released a new ad supporting Republican candidate Sam Brown for U.S. Senate, highlighting his history of military service and his commitment to border security, energy abundance and an end to Washington D.C’s inflationary spending that is hurting Nevada families.

AFP confirmed to The Globe that they will be taking a very active role in their support of Brown as he seeks to unseat Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen for the U.S. Senate.

AFP Action Senior Advisor for Nevada Ronnie Najarro issued the following statement:

“For too long, Jacky Rosen has chosen to side with Chuck Schumer and her party bosses over Nevada’s best interests. A decorated veteran and life-long public servant, Sam Brown will be the U.S. Senator that the Battle Born State deserves. Brown has expressed his dedication to combat skyrocketing inflation and cost-of-living increases and is the best candidate to defeat Jacky Rosen this November.”

As the Globe reported, the average Nevadan household must spend an additional $13,296 annually just to maintain the same standard of living they enjoyed in January of 2021, right before inflation soared to 40-year highs, according to a recent analysis of government data.

To break it down further, Bidenflation adds up to an ongoing extra $1,108 monthly cost per Nevada household. Nevadans are spending an additional $146 on food, $237 on shelter, and $324 on energy costs than they were since Biden took office.

In May 2022, The Globe reported that Nevadan household were hit the hardest by inflation. At that time, Nevadans were paying an additional $8,231 annually for basic household expenses. The increase in monthly costs for average Nevada households were as follows: Food: $70; Shelter: $113; Transportation: $306; Energy: $175.

Based on these recent estimates, Nevadans have nearly doubled their monthly expenses in just one year.

Brown ran an unsuccessful Senatorial campaign in 2022, losing to Adam Laxalt in the GOP primary. Laxalt lost to Senator Catherine Cortez Masto by less than 8,000 votes.

Yet, in this senatorial bid, Brown has received the backing of the Republican Senatorial Committee and broke fundraising records at the end of last year, raising a record-breaking $1.85 million in the fourth quarter, “more than any challenger to an incumbent running for re-election in Nevada history.” When combined with his third quarter fundraising, Brown set another record with a haul of $3.04 million.

Rosen announced a Q4 haul of $3.2 million with $10.6 million cash on hand, setting another Nevada record for an incumbent in the race for the U.S. Senate, yet 90 percent of her donations are from donors who live out of state.

Brown has referred to Rosen as a “foot soldier” for President Biden as Rosen votes with Biden 93 percent of the time. As Rosen embraces Biden’s agenda, Biden is tanking in the polls, especially with Independents–a growing voting demographic in Nevada.

A recent poll confirms that only 38 percent of Nevada voters indicate that they approve of the job that President Biden is doing while 53 percent disapprove of the job he is doing. Almost half of the electorate (46 percent) “strongly” disapprove of Biden.

Another recent poll shows that the race for the U.S. Senate is nearly tied, with Rosen’s lead dwindling to less than two percent, with over 20 percent of respondents undecided.
