I’m running against one of the NRA’s favorite lawmakers. Mike Simpson has accepted hundreds of thousands in gun lobby contributions. He called the NRA’s endorsement an honor. And when a bipartisan bill for gun reform reached the House, Simpson voted against it.
Since Mike took office in 1998, the number of mass shootings has skyrocketed. John, firearms are now the leading cause of death for American children and teens. Still, Mike’s done nothing to help.
There are only two sides to choose from when it comes to mass shootings and gun violence: the victims or the murderers. I know which side Mike Simpson is on, and now we all know where the Supreme Court stands.
This isn’t just about the shootings we see on national news or watch unfold on TikTok and YouTube. Mass shootings happen everyday in our own communities.
On Father’s Day last year, a shooter murdered four of his neighbors in Shoshone County. I could be next. My kids could be next.
John, this campaign is up against an immoral, filthy-rich fundraising machine backing my opponent and hundreds of other politicians with the gun lobby’s blood money.
I know the odds of winning aren’t great. That’s why I need you with me. One dad can’t outraise Mike Simpson, but together we can.
