Earley Earns Americans for Prosperity Endorsement

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. - April 6, 2026 - PRLog -- Today, US Army Veteran Joe Earley announced that he has earned the endorsement of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a leading national organization dedicated to advancing economic freedom, limited government, and free-market policies.

The endorsement reflects Earley's strong commitment to pro-growth economic policies, energy independence, school choice, and constitutional governance.

"I am honored to receive the endorsement of Americans for Prosperity," said Earley. "This endorsement confirms what our campaign has been about from day one—fighting for hardworking West Virginians, protecting taxpayers, and restoring a government that serves the people, not special interests."

West Virginia Americans for Prosperity emphasizes grassroots engagement ensuring that West Virginians are heard at the State House on issues of free market and limited government principles.  Their mission is to expand freedom and opportunity for all residents by advocating for policies that reduce government overreach, cut unnecessary regulations, and promote economic growth.

"This endorsement proves that I am the candidate voters can trust to protect their wallets and their freedoms," said Earley.

Earley's policy platform closely aligns with AFP's mission, including:

• Lower Taxes & Economic Freedom — Supporting the elimination of the personal income tax and reducing the overall tax burden on families and businesses
• Energy Independence — Defending coal and natural gas while advancing next-generation nuclear to ensure reliable, affordable baseload power
• School Choice & Education Freedom — Expanding the Hope Scholarship and empowering parents to choose the best path for their children
• Limited Government — Right-sizing government, cutting waste, and increasing accountability
• Technology & Workforce Growth — Expanding broadband and building a workforce that supports long-term economic development

"West Virginia has the opportunity to lead the nation in energy production, economic growth, and individual freedom," Earley added. "But it requires leadership willing to stand firm on principle. I will continue to fight for policies that keep more money in your pocket, create jobs, and protect our way of life."
