Some good gun safety news coming out the post-election reports so far...
1) The NRA’s big bet on Trump was a bust. The NRA's spending was down almost half this cycle — and it chose to put 70% of its federal spending behind Trump. That turned out to be a bad investment.

2) We won in former gun lobby strongholds. Arizona and Colorado used to be NRA bastions; thanks in part to the hard work of @momsdemand and #studentsdemandaction volunteers, and @everytown's financial support, they elected Captain Mark Kelly and John Hickenlooper to the Senate.
Also, the Georgia suburbs are now a Southern stronghold for gun safety. Rep. Lucy McBath, a former @momsdemand volunteer, won her bid for re-election. But we also had a big win with gun sense champ Carolyn Bourdeaux - we helped her flip a competitive House seat from red to blue.
3) @MomsDemand volunteers are winning up and down the ballot. We elected our second @MomsDemand volunteer to Congress: Marie Newman from Illinois. And so far, 31 volunteers have won their races, from school board to statehouses in places like Arkansas, Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin.
4) @Everytown’s endorsement is a must-have for gun sense candidates. While many races have yet to be called, candidates who received our endorsement have a 65% win rate, and over 1,000 candidates who got our Gun Sense Candidate distinction won elections up and down the ballot.
5) Our grassroots army made a major impact. That includes making 1.5M calls, sending 2.2M texts, and registering 100,000 voters.
We're ready to do it again in the Georgia runoff elections for the US Senate. Text GEORGIA to 644-33 to join us!

6) Pre-election polling found that gun safety is a winning issue across battleground states, and that messaging deployed by @Everytown in its paid media moved a generic ballot up to SIX POINTS in Democrats’ favor amongst key demographics.
Biden/Harris is the strongest gun safety ticket in US history, and their victory is the strongest proof yet that gun safety is a winning issue. Our grassroots army will now do everything in our power to help them enact gun safety policies the American people are demanding.
