Axios获悉,“Everytown for Gun Safety”是一个倡导更严格枪支法的组织,该组织正在与众议院民主党人合作开展一项价值1000万美元的广告活动,以提振目前竞选国会议员的前枪支安全倡导者。

Everytown for Gun Safety a group that advocates for stricter gun laws, is teaming up with House Democrats on a $10 million ad campaign to boost former gun safety advocates now running for Congress, Axios has learned. Why it matters:

为什么重要:在民主党人对在中期选举中在财务上被击败敲响警钟之际,这是一笔可观的金额。

That's a significant sum at a moment when Democrats are raising alarm bells about being outgunned financially in the midterm elections.

  • 受到竞选活动支持的候选人都是另一个枪支安全组织“妈妈需求行动”的前志愿者。

• The candidates boosted by the campaign are all former volunteers for another gun safety group, Moms Demand Action.

  • 候选人包括:亚利桑那州的乔安娜·门多萨、佛罗里达州的皮亚·丹迪亚、爱荷华州的克里斯蒂娜·博汉南和林赛·詹姆斯、密歇根州的克里斯蒂娜·海因斯和众议员克里斯汀·麦克唐纳·里维特以及宾夕法尼亚州的佩奇·科涅蒂。

• The candidates include: JoAnna Mendoza of Arizona, Pia Dandiya of Florida, Christina Bohannan and Lindsay James of Iowa, Christina Hines and Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet of Michigan, and Paige Cognetti of Pennsylvania. "For nearly two years,

“近两年来, Everytown主席约翰·费恩布拉特(John Feinblatt)在一份首次与Axios分享的声明中表示:“MAGA众议院”在特朗普政府撕毁联邦枪支安全法时给它打了橡皮图章,翻转这八个席位就是我们阻止它的方式。

a MAGA House has rubber-stamped the Trump administration as it tore up federal gun safety laws, and flipping these eight seats is how we put a stop to it," Everytown president John Feinblatt said in a statement first shared with Axios.

  • “这些选区的选票上都有一名“妈妈需求行动”志愿者,我们正在与众议院多数党政治行动委员会合作,将他们变成多数党制造者。"

• "There's a Moms Demand Action volunteer on the ballot in every one of these districts, and we're partnering with House Majority PAC to turn them into majority makers."

  • 众议院民主党主要超级政治行动委员会(众议院多数党政治行动委员会)主席迈克·史密斯在一份声明中表示:“这张地图上的每个席位都是对特朗普政府和MAGA众议院进行检查的机会,他们花了两年时间将枪支游说团体置于美国家庭之上。"

• Mike Smith, the president of House Democrats' main super PAC, House Majority PAC, said in a statement: "Every seat on this map is a chance to put a check on a Trump administration and a MAGA House that have spent two years putting the gun lobby ahead of American families." Between the lines:

字里行间:这笔资金将用于资助广泛关注“公共安全”的电视和数字广告,不仅涉及枪支管制,还涉及贩毒、移民、犯罪和警察资金。

The money will go to fund TV and digital ads focused broadly on "public safety," referencing not just gun control but drug trafficking, immigration, crime, and police funding.

  • 博汉南的广告称她“竞选国会议员,将公共安全放在第一位。这意味着与双方合作,确保我们的边境安全,雇用更多警察,并禁止非法枪支和芬太尼进入我们的街道。"

• The Bohannan ad says she is "running for Congress to put public safety first. That means working with both parties to secure our border, hire more police officers and keep illegal guns and fentanyl off our streets."

  • 科涅蒂的广告主要集中在她更广泛的反腐败信息上,但称赞她作为斯克兰顿市长如何“为警察筹集了数百万美元并将暴力犯罪减少了80%”。

• The Cognetti ad mostly focuses on her broader anti-corruption message but lauds how "she got millions for police and cut violent crime by 80%" as mayor of Scranton.

另一边: NRCC发言人迈克·马里内拉(Mike Marinella)在一份声明中告诉Axios:“众议院民主党人完全接受了废除监狱、将罪犯释放回街头以及取消对警察的资助等激进社会主义议程。”

The other side: "House Democrats have fully embraced the radical socialist agenda of abolishing prisons, releasing criminals back on the streets, and defunding the police," NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella told Axios in a statement.

  • “选民不会相信他们关于为保护我们社区而奋斗的共和党人的谎言。"

• "Voters won't buy their lies about Republicans who have fought to protect our communities."
