John–
In 13 days, Wisconsin will elect a Supreme Court justice, with early voting already underway.
The MAGA candidate is Brad Schimel, who has a long list of dangerous views. He let domestic abusers walk with no jail time. He opposes background checks that keep guns away from violent criminals and domestic abusers. And Elon Musk and a gun group backed by Donald Trump Jr. are pouring millions of dollars into the state to get him elected.
That's why we're running ads, knocking on doors, making phone calls, and doing everything we can to defeat Trump, Musk, and the gun lobby in this election. But every day, we are doing so much more to end gun violence—like advocating for life-saving gun safety policies and programs at school board meetings, statehouses, and the U.S. Congress.
Donate to the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund today to continue our lifesaving work!
The race is widely seen as an early referendum on the Trump-Musk alliance. Musk—affiliated PACs are funneling more than $11 million into the election, and overall spending on the race is expected to top $100 million. Musk's involvement presents a major opportunity to weaken his hold on politics.
Hunter Nation, a gun group affiliated with Donald Trump Jr., also just announced a $1.8M digital ad campaign to support Schimel. In other words, gun safety is now going to be a key issue in the campaign—which makes the stakes even higher for us.
However, unlike Musk, Everytown is no newcomer to state court races and local elections. We've seen wins in Wisconsin in the past and in other high-stakes races. And we've seen what the power of grassroots organizing and advocacy can do. This is our bread and butter.
Everytown is right where we want to be: On the ground and getting stronger by the day. We can continue to mobilize our base of 11 million supporters, win down ballot-races in states across the country, and pass meaningful legislation in both blue and red states—on the local and state levels. But we're going to need your help to fuel our grassroots work.
John, I hope you'll donate to the Everytown Action Fund today to help us do all that we can to secure yet another gun safety victory.
Thank you for all that you do!
John Feinblatt
President
