Major push to protect, renew Trump tax cuts launched by powerful conservative group

A powerful conservative political advocacy group, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), is launching a significant campaign to push Congress to renew the tax cuts enacted by President Trump during his first term. The group has announced a $20 million campaign to advocate for the extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which was signed into law in 2017.

The TCJA made substantial changes to the nation’s tax code, providing tax breaks for nearly all taxpayers. However, many of the provisions are set to expire at the end of this year, potentially leading to tax increases for many Americans if Congress does not act to extend the cuts. AFP warns that millions of Americans could face an additional $1,500 or more in taxes next year if the cuts are not renewed.

AFP President and CEO Emily Seidel emphasized the importance of extending the tax cuts, calling them the most pro-growth tax reform in American history. The group is mobilizing its grassroots network of nearly 30 million voters to ensure that Congress prioritizes renewing the TCJA.

The campaign includes an ad blitz in all 50 states, as well as grassroots efforts such as calls to lawmakers, community phone banks, and door-to-door contacts. The group also plans to hold meetings with congressional offices, in-district events, and roundtables with job creators to highlight the impact of not renewing the tax cuts.

President Trump has repeatedly promised to extend his tax cuts, and AFP is committed to supporting this goal. While AFP had differences with Trump during his first term, the group was a strong supporter of his tax cuts and bipartisan criminal justice reform. Additionally, AFP endorsed Trump rival Nikki Haley in the 2024 GOP presidential nomination race before focusing on down-ballot races after Haley ended her White House bid.

With Republicans in control of Congress once again, the push to renew the tax cuts faces challenges due to the potential increase in the nation’s deficit. However, AFP is determined to make pro-growth tax reform a top priority and ensure that American families and businesses continue to benefit from the tax cuts.

In conclusion, Americans for Prosperity’s campaign to extend the Trump tax cuts highlights the group’s commitment to fiscal conservatism and economic prosperity. By mobilizing its vast grassroots network and advocating for the renewal of the TCJA, AFP aims to protect prosperity and reignite the American dream for millions of Americans.
