Gun control activists are increasing their efforts to support presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for president and help Democrats win the House of Representatives in November. GIFFORDS, a gun violence prevention group founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, has announced a $15 million campaign targeting battleground state voters. The campaign includes television, digital advertising, direct mail, and sending Giffords and surrogates to campaign for Harris and down-ballot candidates who advocate for stricter gun laws.
Emma Brown, the executive director for GIFFORDS, emphasized the importance of supporting leaders committed to saving lives, including Vice President Kamala Harris. The campaign will focus on swing states like Michigan and Arizona for the presidential election, as well as swing congressional districts in California and New York that could impact control of the House of Representatives next year.
