New Polling Shows Gun Violence is Important Issue When Voting
to Majority of Arizona Voters
PHOENIX- Today, Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund announced a more than $1.6 million paid media campaign in Arizona for the 2024 elections. New digital ads and direct mailers will run across targeted state legislative battleground districts and focus on highlighting Arizona MAGA Republicans' opposition to common-sense gun safety laws and the extreme guns everywhere agenda they will push in Phoenix.
"Our polling confirms that the overwhelming majority of Arizona voters are looking for candidates who will fight to keep our schools and our families safe from gun violence," said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. "Everytown is making sure voters know that Arizona communities would be at risk if MAGA Republicans have total control of Phoenix."
