"Everytown for Gun Safety announced a $1 million investment to boost state Senate candidate Tom Sullivan (D.). The investment, which matches how much they?ve spent in some of the most significant federal elections, is aimed at keeping Colorado?s state legislature in Democratic hands. It is part of a larger $2.7 million Colorado ad buy against Republican candidates at the federal and state level, especially Sullivan?s opponent Tom Kim."
"In recent years, Sullivan has played a key role in advancing many gun-control bills through the state assembly. He was the prime sponsor of the state?s so-called red flag law (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb19-1177), a measure to ban open carry (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb22-1086) near voting locations, a bill creating a state agency (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb21-1299) dedicated to ?gun-violence prevention,? and a bill making it a crime (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb20-1356) if a gun owner fails to report a stolen firearm within 48 hours."
Everytown has an offshoot called Moms Demand Action which back Hannah Gay Keao, the woman behind Edgewater's ban. They are also the organization that has written most of the proposed gun ban legislation various communities have enacted or tried to enact.
