MADISON – Today, Americans for Prosperity Wisconsin is announcing an expansion of its ad buy in support of prevailing wage repeal. The chapter will be increasing its radio buy in Milwaukee while expanding to the Green Bay media market in a continued and growing effort to educate citizens on the benefits of repealing this outdated regulation.

Americans for Prosperity State Director Eric Bott released the following statement:

“Support is building all across the state for full repeal of the prevailing wage requirement. That’s because the math behind it is simple: repealing this outdated regulation would save taxpayers $890 million. That’s a lot of money that could be better spent on schools, infrastructure or on tax breaks for the hard-working taxpayers of Wisconsin. AFP remains committed to Wisconsin taxpayers — no matter what the special interests have to say.”

AFP-WI Issues New Legislative Endorsements for July

Wisconsin faces the most important election in a generation this year. Property taxes are too high, energy costs are out of control, and yet Democrats continue pushing policies that will continue to increase the pain being felt by families. That’s why we endorsed Tom Tiffany and our other policy champions, and why we’re adding Jim Croft and Bobby Lindsey to our slate of endorsed candidates.; Jim and Bobby have proven themselves as candidates who understand the values that make Wisconsin special. Both believe in the power of the free market, small business, education freedom, and commonsense fiscal policies that help all Wisconsinites. We’re glad to give them both our endorsement, and we look forward to helping them win in November.
