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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Angespannter Bizeps" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Angespannter Bizeps" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Angespannter Bizeps" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps">
