Giffords launches new ads against two House Republicans
Giffords PAC is going after Rep. Rob Bresnahan in Pennsylvania and Rep. David Valadao in California.
Former Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords' gun safety group is launching a $1.5 million campaign against two Republican House members in critical races, as reported by Semafor. The Arizona-based group, Giffords PAC, will spend $850,000 on an ad to unseat Rep. Rob Bresnahan in Pennsylvania and another $700,000 to defeat Rep. David Valadao in California.
Both ads criticize the Republican members for accepting contributions from the firearm industry and their voting records on gun-related issues. One advertisement describes Bresnahan as "too corrupt to keep Northeast Pennsylvania families safe," while another highlights testimony from a former homicide detective accusing Valadao of "gambling with police officers' lives and putting families in danger."
The Spanish-language version of the latter ad is also available. Giffords PAC's spokesperson, Emma Brown, stated that voters are "fed up with politicians who go to DC just to serve themselves." These ads are part of a broader $10 million spending plan by the group.
