11.4.2026
Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund Ran a More Than $43 Million Paid Media Campaign Focused on Moms Demand Action Volunteers in Must-Win Battleground U.S. House Districts
Everytown Supporters, Alongside Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action Volunteers, Made More Than 15 Million Voter Contacts To Support Gun Safety Candidates
WASHINGTON — Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund and its grassroots networks, Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action, declared a major victory today as voters elected former Moms Demand Action volunteer Christina Hines to represent Michigan’s 10th Congressional District.
“As a special victims prosecutor and a Moms Demand Action volunteer, Christina Hines has spent years standing up for survivors and holding abusers accountable,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. “Now she’ll bring that fight to Congress, and Everytown congratulates Representative-elect Hines on her victory.”
“From organizing as a Moms Demand Action volunteer to representing her community in Congress, Christina Hines has shown exactly what our volunteers are capable of,” said Angela Ferrell-Zabala, executive director of Moms Demand Action. “Our volunteers introduced her to voters one door at a time. Our movement is thrilled to see her win, and we’ll keep showing up for her in Washington.”
“Christina Hines stood with us for years in the fight to keep Michigan communities safe, and we couldn’t be more excited to send her to Congress,” said Hanna LoPatin, a volunteer with the Michigan chapter of Moms Demand Action. “This fall we knocked doors from one end of the district to the other, confident she’d be our voice in Washington. Now, we’ll keep working alongside her to protect our families.”
Establishing a gun safety majority in the House was Everytown’s top federal priority this cycle. Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund invested more than $43 million in House races to elect former volunteers in eight of the most competitive districts in the country: AZ-06, FL-22, IA-01, IA-02, IA-03, MI-08, MI-10 and PA-08 — all carried by President Trump in 2024. Everytown also backed gun safety champion Rep. Jared Moskowitz in Florida’s 25th District. Working closely with House Majority PAC, the program highlighted the strong public safety records of endorsed candidates and the threat MAGA extremists pose to commonsense gun safety laws and our communities. Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers made more than 15 million voter contacts in support of gun safety candidates up and down the ballot.
These candidates were among 547 Moms Demand Action volunteers who ran for offices up and down the ballot across 47 states this cycle, including more than 40 who ran for Congress. Many were trained through Demand a Seat, which Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund launched in 2021 to train grassroots volunteers and gun violence survivors to run for office. The program has trained more than 1,600 volunteers across 49 states and Washington, D.C. Since 2021, more than 600 former volunteers have been elected, including six who were already serving in Congress before this election.
