Americans for Prosperity-Louisiana Honors Congressman Steve Scalise with “Pioneers for Prosperity” Award
WASHINGTON, DC–This week, Americans for Prosperity-Louisiana awarded Majority Leader Steve Scalise (LA-01) with a “Pioneers for Prosperity” award.
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 drive 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.
AFP-LA State Director Scott Simon released the following statement:
“We are thankful for Congressman Scalise’s partnership throughout the years. His leadership on pivotal policies that help Louisianans fight the cost-of-living crisis is needed in Congress, especially with next year’s fiscal deadlines our nation faces. This award honors Congressman Scalise’s past work that has made our economy stronger and celebrates the path forward as we look to future pro-growth opportunities.”
This week, AFP-LA met with Congressman Scalise and other Louisiana Members in Washington to discuss major tax policies, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, that are set to expire at the end of 2025 which are commonly referred to as the “fiscal cliff” and what AFP’s new polling found on these key issues.
