Everytown for Gun Safety to make $250k ad buy, aim to put Minn. Senate 'on notice'
ST. PAUL — National gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety on Wednesday, Feb. 5, announced that it planned to make a $250,000 ad buy in Minnesota aimed at putting Republicans in the state Senate "on notice."
The group said it would spend at least $60 million around the country in the lead-up to the 2020 election and the GOP-controlled state Senate would come under fire as part of that. The spend is twice what the group co-founded by Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg spent in 2018 and the group's leaders said they planned to target President Donald Trump and other elected officials that opposed gun safety legislation.
In Minnesota, the $250,000 digital ad campaign will roll out over the next several months and will urge voters to ask their lawmakers to support a pair of gun control measures aimed at enhancing background checks for some gun sales and transfers and allowing law enforcement to remove firearms if someone poses a danger to himself or others. The ads will be directed at suburban and African American women, according to a statement from Everytown
