Americans for Prosperity Honors Kentucky Lawmakers with “Pioneers for Prosperity” Awards
WASHINGTON, DC – This week, Americans for Prosperity – Kentucky 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. Congressmen Brett Guthrie (KY-02) and Andy Barr (KY-06) earned this distinction for their representation of the Bluegrass State.
Upon receiving the award, Rep. Brett Guthrie released the following statement:
“I was honored to be presented with the Pioneer for Prosperity award from Kentuckians with Americans for Prosperity which is given to individuals who champion individual freedom and economy opportunity. I’m proud to represent our Kentucky communities’ spirit of freedom and opportunity in Congress!”
AFP-KY State Director Heather LeMire released the following statement:
“Kentucky is lucky to have leaders like Representatives Brett Guthrie and Andy Barr in Congress, and AFP-KY is proud to present them with these ‘Pioneers for Prosperity’ awards. Reps. Guthrie and Barr have fought against the reckless, inflation-inducing policies of the Biden-Harris administration that have deepened the cost-of-living crisis in our state, and AFP-KY is excited to continue fighting alongside them on behalf of all Bluegrass state taxpayers.”
