New Ad Highlights Ganahl’s Embrace of Far-Right Conspiracists and Election Deniers
LAS VEGAS — Today, Everytown for Gun Safety Colorado IEC launched a new television ad against Heidi Ganahl, who is running against gun sense champion Governor Jared Polis. The announcement comes as part of a $2.7 million paid media effort Everytown is leading in Colorado ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
“Since the day he took office, Governor Polis has been the very definition of a gun sense champion — a leader who will take meaningful, common-sense steps to prevent gun violence,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. “Everytown is going to make sure that voters know Heidi Ganahl is a far-right extremist who wants to take Colorado in the wrong direction.”
Earlier this week, Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety Colorado IEC released television advertisements highlighting how U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea is all-in with MAGA Republicans and sides with the gun lobby, as well as a TV ad against Rep. Tom Sullivan’s opponent, Tom Kim, in the race for state Senate highlighting his “perfect score” from the gun lobby. As part of these announcements, Everytown also released new polling in Colorado showing that the vast majority of voters in the state support common-sense gun safety laws, including 92% support for background checks on all gun sales.
