Americans for Prosperity Honors North Carolina Lawmakers with “Pioneers for Prosperity” Awards
WASHINGTON, DC – This week, Americans for Prosperity – North Carolina awarded four 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. Senators Ted Budd (R-NC) and Thom Tillis (R-NC), and U.S. Representatives Virginia Foxx (NC-05), Richard Hudson (NC-09), and Patrick McHenry (NC-10) earned this distinction for their representation of The Tar Heel State.
AFP-NC State Director Tyler Voigt released the following statement:
“AFP-NC is proud to present these policy champions with the ‘Pioneers for Prosperity’ award. North Carolina is fortunate to have leaders like Senators Budd and Tillis, and Representatives Foxx, Hudson, and McHenry representing our state’s best interests in Washington. These leaders have fought hard against the Biden-Harris administration’s inflationary agenda that is responsible for the cost-of-living crisis Americans face today. We look forward to continuing our fight alongside these members in defending hardworking North Carolinians.”
