About Us
Our state chapter launched in 2013. Since then we’ve grown to include nine full-time staff and over 46,000 Tennessee volunteers. We are one of the few organizations that lobby on the behalf of taxpayers and regular Tennesseans at the state level; we advocate for policies that make government fiscally responsible: lowering your tax burden and pushing back against reckless government spending & regulations.
We partner with like-minded groups and volunteers across Tennessee hosting events to educate and empower people with skills necessary to impact public policy. Reach out to one of our amazing Grassroots Directors to learn more.

Tennessee Scorecard
Dear Concerned Taxpayer,
Thank you for checking out our Taxpayers’ Scorecard, a labor of love by the Americans for Prosperity staff to show you how your lawmakers vote in key policy areas. Citizen involvement is the most important part of the legislative process. Please join one of our citizen lobbyist trainings to learn more about the process and how you can make an impact joining us at the Capitol.
AFP’s Taxpayer Scorecard is our good faith effort to inform citizens about the performance of their elected representatives. There is no better barometer by which to measure a lawmakers’ allegiance to fiscal responsibility, economic freedom, and breaking down barriers so every Tennessean can live the American Dream than to evaluate their votes important legislation. Simply put, their votes are their record.
Of course, no legislative scorecard can take into consideration every bill affecting taxpayers. Each of Americans for Prosperity – Tennessee’s (AFP-TN) legislative priorities is include on this scorecard, as well as any additional issues we communicated support for or opposition to.
