Louisville, Ky. – Americans for Prosperity-Kentucky (AFP-KY) congratulated Judge Amy Coney Barrett on her confirmation by the Senate to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and commended its grassroots activists for their incredible work to ensure Judge Barrett’s confirmation. Since the launch of AFP’s full scale campaign, which began just minutes after Judge Barrett’s nomination by President Trump on Sep. 26th, AFP grassroots activists have made and sent more than 750,000 – three quarters of a million – phone calls and letters to their senators urging them to confirm Judge Barrett to the high court. AFP will now launch a campaign, which includes digital and newspaper ads, to thank Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senator Rand Paul, and other senators for voting to confirm Judge Barrett.
AFP-KY State Director Michael Conway issued the following statement:
“Congratulations to Judge Amy Coney Barrett. All Kentuckians will benefit from having her as a Justice on the Supreme Court. We commend Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for his leadership during Judge Barrett’s confirmation process, and Sen. Rand Paul for voting to confirm her. We thank our activists for their tireless work to ensure we have a Supreme Court that will uphold the Constitution, interpret the law as written, and protect our freedoms.”
