AZ – GUN POLITICS – Gun-control group to spend $1.6 million this week to replace GOP lawmakers
Gun-control group Everytown for Gun Safety will be spending $1.6 million on political ads across, radio, internet and mailers this week targeting Republicans in legislative races in an attempt to flip the state’s legislature for the first time in 60 years. Earlier this year, the group announced it would be spending $5 million on Arizona races, and next week’s spending signals the start of the group’s efforts in the state. Everytown for Gun Safety previously worked to elect Democratic lawmakers in Virginia in 2018, which led to changes in that state’s gun laws, such as allowing localities to regulate firearms in public places and removing guns from those with protective orders against them.
“We are going big in Arizona to flip both Arizona chambers,” Charles Boyd Kelly, Senior Political Advisor for Everytown said to the Arizona Mirror about the group’s ad buys.
The group will be spending $800,000 on digital video, radio and static ads and an additional $850,000 for mailers in targeted legislative races. [full article]
