WASHINGTON, DC – This week, Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin (AFP-WI) awarded two members of Congress with “Pioneers for Prosperity” awards.
The award honors distinguished lawmakers who were policy champions during the 118th Congress. These leaders are on the frontlines in Congress advancing principles and policies that advance the conservative movement, while proactively opposing harmful ideas that grow the size of government and take money out of taxpayers’ paychecks. The “Pioneers for Prosperity” stood firm against ill-advised legislation that would have deepened the hardships felt by working families and worked closely with AFP in Washington as well as with our grassroots communities in their home states.
Lawmakers earned recognition for supporting bills such as the Employee Rights Act, Strategic Production Response Act, Lower Energy Costs Act, Health Care Fairness for All Act, and other pivotal pieces of legislation that offer common-sense solutions that would improve Americans’ lives.
U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) and U.S. Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) earned this distinction for their representation of The Badger State.
AFP-WI State Director Megan Novak released the following statement:
“We’re excited to recognize Senator Johnson and Congressman Tiffany for their unwavering commitment to the people of Wisconsin. These leaders deserve to be recognized for their efforts to tackle the cost-of-living crisis with conservative principles, and push back against the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous economic agenda. As Congress faces challenges, such as the impending ‘fiscal cliff’ and expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, AFP-WI looks forward to working closely with Johnson and Tiffany to renew these necessary policies, prevent tax hikes on hardworking Wisconsinites, and secure a more prosperous future for all Americans.”
