Pro-GOP super PAC AFP Action launches $10 million ad campaign against Democratic senators
SUMMARY
A major pro-GOP super PAC, AFP Action, is launching a $10 million ad campaign targeting Democratic U.S. Senate candidates in key battleground states. The ads are aimed at Senators Jon Tester (Montana), Jacky Rosen (Nevada), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Bob Casey (Pennsylvania), Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin), and Rep. Elisa Slotkin (Michigan). The campaign criticizes the candidates for supporting the Inflation Reduction Act, a $1.2 trillion piece of legislation passed in 2022, which AFP Action claims has increased living costs for average Americans by about $1,000 per month. Specific ads highlight the senators' voting records, such as Casey's 98% support for President Biden's priorities and Brown’s nearly 30-year tenure, accusing them of driving inflation. The ads come as Democrats face tough re-election battles, with Tester and Brown considered the most vulnerable.
