Americans for Prosperity Honors Texas Lawmakers with “Pioneers for Prosperity” Awards
WASHINGTON, DC – This week, Americans for Prosperity – Texas awarded four members of Congress with “Pioneers for Prosperity” awards. U.S. Representatives August Pfluger (TX-11), Monica De La Cruz (TX-15), Pete Sessions (TX-17), and Jodey Arrington (TX-19) earned this distinction for their principled leadership on behalf of The Lone Star State during the 118th Congress.
AFP-TX met with these members in Washington this week to discuss tax policies, including the of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which could trigger a “fiscal cliff” in 2025 if Congress doesn’t renew it. They also discussed new AFP polling released this week that found 90 percent of Americans oppose new tax hikes and want to keep their current rates.
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.

“We’re proud to have such outstanding and principled representation for the Lone Star State in Washington, and that’s why we’ve named these four leaders as our 2024 ‘Pioneers for Prosperity’ award winners.
“Texans can count on Pfluger, De la Cruz, Sessions and Arrington to continue building a pro-growth economy that provides opportunities for all. Together, we’ll make sure that America avoids the ‘fiscal cliff’ in 2025 and continues down the path of prosperity.”
