Americans for Prosperity Honors U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts with “Pioneers for Prosperity” Award
WASHINGTON, DC – This week, Americans for Prosperity – Nebraska awarded U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-Nebraska) with the “Pioneers for Prosperity” award, recognizing him as a policy champion for Nebraska 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.
Sen. Pete Ricketts gave the following statement:
“I’m grateful to AFP-NE for the Pioneers for Prosperity award. Together, we’ve fought against the Biden-Harris administration’s reckless spending and burdensome mandates. I’ll keep working to protect our freedoms and strengthen Nebraska’s economy.”
AFP-NE State Director, John Gage, gave the following statement:
“Nebraska has a champion for liberty in Congress with Sen. Pete Ricketts. For his steadfast commitment to conservative principles and small government approach to addressing America’s cost-of-living crisis, we’re proud to present him with the ‘Pioneers for Prosperity’ award. We look forward to working alongside him to fight Washington’s big spending and inflationary policies that have made life more difficult for Nebraskans.”
