Exclusive: AFP Action Launches Ad Blitz Against ‘Career Politician’ Sen Jacky Rosen

The blitz is part of AFP Action’s ‘firewall strategy’ to prevent ‘One Party Progressive rule’

Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) is launching a multi-million dollar ad campaign across battleground states, including Nevada, where Democratic U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen is facing a toss-up race against GOP challenger Sam Brown. The conservative PAC is spending $5.75 million on an ad blitz across swing states and has earmarked $1 million in support of Brown.

The blitz is part of AFP Action’s “firewall strategy” to prevent “One Party Progressive rule.”

In a statement, AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento said, “Voters are tired of Washington doubling down on failed policy and then handing them the bill. But that’s what every incumbent senator has done during their time in office — some of them for decades. The pain is very real for Americans still deciding who to vote for in November, but when you look at their record, it’s very clear that senators Brown, Baldwin, Casey, Rosen and Tester can’t be trusted to vote the right way when it comes to reducing inflationary spending or securing the border.

“Any one of these senators were the deciding vote to push the Biden-Harris administration’s massive influx of spending forward, forcing inflation into overdrive – and every single one put their party ahead of their constituents. Americans across the country are paying the price. The last thing our country can afford is to send these senators back to Washington for more of the same failed policies.”

One of the two ads scheduled to run in Nevada entitled, “Let Us Down” slams Rosen as a “career politician,” with footage of her claiming “help is on the way” after she supported the Biden-Harris Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

A Fresh Voice highlights that Nevadans are paying an extra $30,000 inflation due to the rising costs of gas, groceries and housing and features Brown’s “common sense solutions” through reigning in reckless spending, unleashing American energy, and removing costly regulations.

Although she flexes her bipartisanship credentials, Rosen has voted with President Biden 93 percent of the time and has supported massive government spending bills like the IRA, which has decreased the value of the dollar and increased the costs of Nevadan households.

At the RNC convention, former President Donald Trump encouraged Nevadans to “get out an vote for Sam Brown” and labeled Rosen as a “total lightweight,” however her FEC reports show Rosen is a no lightweight when it comes to raising money from out-of-state donors.

Brown has been endorsed by former President Trump and Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo and raised over $4 million in the second quarter.

Of the $7.6 million Rosen raised in the second quarter, over 90 percent of donations came from out-of-state donors compared to only nine percent received from Nevadans. Donors from California and New York account for nearly 50 percent of her Q2 haul, and nearly 60 percent of Rosen’s donors reside in blue states.

Media buys accounted for 73 percent of Rosen’s campaign expenditures. In January, Rosen received a $36 million boost for ad buys from the Senate Majority PAC, a Democratic super PAC tied to Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

In the last Nevada Senate race, Senator Catherine Cortez Masto vastly outspent her GOP opponent Adam Laxalt and secured her reelection victory by less than 8,000 votes. Pollsters predict this race may also come down to the wire.

In April, the Cook Political Report moved the Silver State Senate race from Lean Democrat to Toss Up and rightfully predicted the race to be “one of the toughest in the country.”
