Americans For Prosperity Action Endorses Michael Whatley For Senate

Last week, Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) announced its official endorsement of Michael Whatley for U.S. Senate in North Carolina and Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate in Michigan. These are likely to be two of the hottest contested races in the 2026 midterm election.  

“Candidates Michael Whatley and Mike Rogers have demonstrated a strong commitment to expanding freedom and opportunity through policies that limit government and empower people. We need more U.S. Senators with that same outlook to keep our country headed in the right direction, as well as provide an essential check on far-left progressive policies that are becoming more extreme by the day,” said AFP Action Director Nathan Nascimento. “The opportunity in front of us isn’t just about winning in 2026, it’s about shaping the future of our country. That’s why we’ll be unleashing the full power of our 20-year grassroots infrastructure and cutting-edge data to help these candidates win — because when we organize early and lead with purpose, we can help make the difference in close races. This cycle, that could mean the difference between a generation of prosperity or a return to the failed policies of the past.” 

Nascimento continued, “Last cycle, AFP and AFP Action engaged in more state and federal races than ever before, and with what’s at stake in 2026, we fully expect it to be another record-breaking year. Early engagement and outreach is critical to identifying key issues, setting a narrative, and mobilizing support, which is why we’re wasting no time.” 

AFP Actions has a presence in all 50 states, with permanent grassroots chapters in 26. They focus on supporting limited-government majorities in Congress that focus on pro-growth policies like fiscal restraint, regulatory reform, and energy abundance.  

In 2024, AFP and AFP Action engaged in 647 races, knocking on 20 million doors, and reached over 30 million voters. By starting earlier than before, AFP plans to exceed these metrics across the board in 2026. Over the past year, AFP has connected with Americans in key states like Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Ohio, talking to voters about their concerns on important issues like tax policy, border security, regulatory reform, healthcare, energy, and more. These insights are informing AFP Action’s 2026 midterm strategy.
