AFP Government Affairs

AFP is urging Congress to oppose the Faster Labor Contracts Act (H.R. 5408 / S. 844) and the discharge petition to force it to the floor. This bill undermines worker choice and replaces negotiation with government-imposed contracts. That’s not reform...it’s overreach. ⬇️ americansforprosperity.org/policy-corner/…

Americans should be free to support the causes they believe in without fear of harassment or retaliation. @AFPhq applauds @SenToddYoung and @SenatorLankford for introducing the Protecting Charitable Giving Act to strengthen donor privacy and defend First Amendment rights. 🇺🇸🦅 young.senate.gov/newsroom/press…

From the halls of Congress to district offices  @AFPPennsylvania & @afpne grassroots visited @RepDonBacon @RepBresnahan & @RepBrianFitz telling them to oppose the Faster Labor Contracts Act (H.R. 5408 / S. 844) & refuse to sign a discharge petition. Read our letter to Congress outlining how this bill would undermine worker empowerment americansforprosperity.org/wp-content/upl……

Unlimited federal student lending drove tuition inflation and left taxpayers holding the bag. 💰 We joined a coalition led by @DFIPolicy supporting the @usedgov RISE Rule because it: ✓ Lowers college costs ✓ Promotes institutional accountability ✓ Saves taxpayers billions Congress should keep advancing higher ed reforms that put students first.

During @HouseCommerce energy subcommittee hearing, @RepGabeEvans tells the story of permitting nightmares in his home state. 🚧🏗️ This is why we must act now to pass federal permit reform.

TOMORROW AT 10:15AM ET 🚨 @EDSecMcMahon will testify on the policies and priorities of @usedgov. Details below: edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…

In the digital age, the government doesn’t need to knock on your door to search your private life. Secret digital searches can expose your contacts, movements, and communications...often without your knowledge. The NDO Fairness Act, sponsored by @RepFitzgerald, would bring overdue transparency and accountability to these powers. Read more ⬇️ americansforprosperity.org/policy-corner/…

POLL: 84% of voters respond favorably to a candidate who says 'Fund patients, not the system.' #FundPatientsNotTheSystem #FundPatientsNotInsuranceCompanies #PersonalOption @FundThePatient @AFPhq @AFPGovAffairs @POTUS @SpeakerJohnson @LeaderJohnThune fundthepatient.com/in-the-press/n…

Today, @BLMNational announced the rescission of the Biden administration’s onerous conservation and landscape health rule. Read Chairman @RepWesterman’s statement ⬇️

Great news! 👏 eenews.net/articles/trump…

Millions of Puerto Ricans face high costs and unreliable energy every day. We went to the island to see it firsthand and talk about solutions. LIBRE’s @HTosteGOP explains how permitting reform can lower costs and improve reliability.

America’s permitting purgatory delays critical mineral projects, putting American jobs, economic prosperity and national security future at risk. The Senate must send @RepWesterman’s #SPEEDAct to @POTUS’ desk to reduce delays and unleash American energy and mineral dominance.

Great to be with Ben Brubeck, the Independent Electrical Contractors, and @SenMikeLee 's @SenateENR staff discussing permitting reform. AFP supports permitting reform that cuts red tape, lowers costs, and gets projects built.

Permitting reform shouldn’t be controversial. If it takes a decade to build, America falls behind. Faster, smarter approvals mean stronger competitiveness, better security, and lower costs for families. Appreciate @SenArmstrong's leadership on this 👇 thehill.com/opinion/energy…

My latest w/ @InsideSourcesDC 👇🏻 “Repealing or reforming the Jones Act would not solve every affordability challenge overnight. It would lower costs, strengthen energy security, and make American supply chains more efficient. In an economy where every dollar matters, that’s a practical step Congress should take.” dcjournal.com/counterpoint-a…

'This new polling confirms what people want: Fund patients, not health systems' ~ @DrDiGiorgio @thehill #Affordability #FundPatients #PersonalOption @AFPGovAffairs @BillCassidy @MikeCrapo @RepGregSteube @RepKatCammack thehill.com/opinion/health…

I caught up with @RepMeuser at Talen Energy’s Freedom Power plant in Berwick to discuss permitting reform and why it’s critical to meeting rising energy demand, strengthening energy independence, and lowering costs for American families. The House has passed key reform bills, and now the Senate has the Unleashing American Energy & Jobs Act led by @SenMcCormickPA. Time to get meaningful permitting reform across the finish line and to the President’s desk! @SenFettermanPA

@RepMichaelCloud Thank you for your leadership. The Fourth Amendment is NOT for Sale 🇺🇸 🚨37 days until the June 12 deadline. Let’s get this right! @RepMichaelCloud @TexasAFP

A Central Bank Digital Currency would be the ultimate surveillance tool. Last night's vote on FISA presented the best opportunity to force the Senate to address CBDC. As one of the primary members pushing for the inclusion of a ban on CBDC, I supported the passage of FISA with the ban on a CBDC out of the House. Here's more on why....

@RepGosar Thank you for your leadership and your NO vote 🇺🇸 🚨38 days until the June 12 deadline. Let’s get this right! @RepGosar @ArizonaAFP

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result—that’s the definition of insanity. Rubber-stamping FISA reauthorization without real reform, after years of documented abuse? That’s not oversight—it’s institutionalized insanity.

@RepRussFulcher Thank you for your leadership and your NO vote 🇺🇸 🚨38 days until the June 12 deadline. Let’s get this right! @RepRussFulcher @AFP_Idaho

Without a robust warrant requirement, I cannot support renewing Section 702 of FISA. To access the data of American citizens, intelligence agencies must be required to obtain a warrant. For this reason, I voted no.

@RepMikeKennedy Thank you for your leadership and your NO vote 🇺🇸 🚨 38 days until the June 12 deadline. Let’s get this right! @RepMikeKennedy @AFP_Utah

Today, I voted no on the FISA reauthorization. The U.S. government should not use its intelligence gathering powers as listed under Section 702 of FISA to violate Americans' constitutional rights or improperly surveil U.S. citizens.  The intelligence community has acknowledged serious compliance failures and improper queries using American citizens’ information. While Congress has taken steps to implement reforms, more work is needed to protect Americans' privacy and uphold the Fourth amendment.
