Grassroots group urges end of year action in Congress, invites Floridians to make their voices heard on criminal justice reform, spending, and trade
Tallahassee, FL –Americans for Prosperity–Florida (AFP-FL) announced a targeted direct mail and digital campaign urging lawmakers to take on the country’s toughest challenges before the end of the year. Over the Thanksgiving holiday Floridians will receive mailers and see digital ads thanking lawmakers who’ve championed reining-in government spending, criminal justice reform, and free trade policies. In addition, AFP-Florida’s partner organization, The LIBRE Initiative, will send mailers and release digital ads thanking lawmakers for leadership on immigration and finding a solution for DREAMERS. The campaign will ask constituents to call lawmakers and encourage them to bridge partisan divides and get to work in the upcoming legislative session.
Floridians in the 1st Congressional District (Rep. Matt Gaetz) will receive direct mail and digital recognizing leadership on reining in out-of-control spending.

AFP-FL State Director Chris Hudson had this to say about the campaign:
“As Floridians gather to give thanks over the holidays, we want to take the opportunity to encourage lawmakers to join together and tackle our country’s toughest challenges. Before we celebrate the opportunities coming in the new year, there is critical work to be done in Washington – work that requires bipartisanship and principled leadership. Now is the time for Washington to rein in out-of-control spending, eliminate tariffs, and find a permanent solution for DREAMERS. We think hearing from their constituents will embolden these lawmakers to get bold solutions over the finish line before the year ends.”
