A prominent gun safety advocacy group is ready to spend big to boost Democrats who last month supported Congress' most significant gun policy package in nearly 30 years — and attack Republicans who opposed it.

John Fetterman to replace retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania. The group has not endorsed in Wisconsin’s open Democratic primary to take on Sen. Ron Johnson .
The money is expected to go toward television and digital ads, as well as organizing efforts and public events. In a statement, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords , who started the group after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, said the investment is “designed to keep communities safe by giving more gun violence prevention advocates a seat at the table in city commission meetings, state legislatures, and the halls of Congress.”Giffords, who was shot in the head outside a supermarket in 2011, is married to Sen. Mark Kelly .
