American Action Network conducted extensive issue advocacy and grassroots mobilization, utilizing a range of strategies such as television advertising, direct mail, automated phone calls, digital advocacy, public opinion surveys, and grants to allied organizations. Our efforts primarily focused on nationwide advocacy urging Congress to implement policies to lower the cost of living and fight inflation through reduced regulation and less government spending, as well as significant efforts calling for commonsense border security measures like reinstating the Remain in Mexico Policy and related legislation, which in totality would solve the border crisis and enhance our economic, homeland, and national security. Additionally, we advocated other key policies and legislation aligned with center-right principles related to energy, healthcare, government shutdowns, and federal spending issues.
