Everytown Supporters, Alongside Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action Volunteers, Made More Than 12 Million Voter Contacts To Support Gun Sense Candidates Nationwide
WASHINGTON — Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund and its grassroots networks, Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action, and Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund declared a major victory today as voters re-elected gun sense champion Tammy Baldwin to the U.S. Senate.
“As a born-and-bred Wisconsinite, Tammy Baldwin knows where her constituents stand on gun safety: Firmly on the side of common-sense laws to keep guns out of dangerous hands,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. “Everytown will continue working with Senator Baldwin to keep American families safe from gun violence.”
“Senator Tammy Baldwin has been a tireless advocate who understands that making our communities safer is perfectly compatible with the Second Amendment,” said Angela Ferrell-Zabala, executive director of Moms Demand Action. “As a responsible gun owner herself and leader in the Senate, her commitment to protecting Wisconsin families from gun violence has been unwavering. We’re excited to continue working alongside her to build a safer future for Wisconsin and our country.”
“Senator Tammy Baldwin has been a leader on gun violence prevention and a steadfast partner in the fight to keep our communities safe,” said Erica Throneburg, a volunteer with the Wisconsin chapter of Moms Demand Action. “There’s still so much work we have to do, and we couldn’t be more excited to send her back to the Senate to keep up this fight so that communities across Wisconsin and the country can achieve a future free from gun violence.”
Earlier this year, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund and Victory Fund announced a $45 million major electoral program, launching a new grassroots voter contact program to help elect gun sense candidates and defeat gun extremists up and down the ballot in key swing districts and states. As part of the electoral program, Everytown hired and deployed 36 field organizers across ten states. These efforts focused on young voters on college campuses, voters of color, and suburban women in Arizona, California, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
