AFP Ads Thank Lawmakers for Supporting Tax Reform

Americans for Prosperity, a group backed by GOP donors Charles and David Koch, is launching a new digital ad campaign to thank lawmakers who support a comprehensive tax reform plan, The Hill reported.

Lawmakers from both the House and Senate are featured in the ads, including Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, and House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C, an AFP spokesman said.

"It's important to us to let the public know when lawmakers are taking a principled stand for them," AFP Chief Operating Officer Sean Lansing said.

"We're encouraged that so many members in both chambers are supporting pro-growth tax reform that can expand opportunity for every American. We plan to keep encouraging these champions to spread the word about tax reform through the summer and into the fall, and we hope more members will rally behind these principles for a tax code that is fairer, flatter, and simpler for all."

The six-figure ad campaign is also designed to convince lawmakers to keep tax reform a priority, The Washington Times reported.
