WASHINGTON — GIFFORDS PAC, the national gun violence prevention organization, founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, released its second ad in its $850,000 advertising investment in the race to represent Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District as part of its $10 million commitment to electing and supporting gun safety champions in 2026. Last week, GIFFORDS PAC announced its first ad, “Corrupt.”
“Rob Bresnahan uses his time in Washington to help one person — himself. He spends his time trading stocks and pocketing gun lobby campaign cash, while voting to make it easier for dangerous people to access guns and put classrooms in danger,” said GIFFORDS PAC Executive Director Emma Brown. “Paige Cognetti will always put Northeast Pennsylvania families first and work to keep communities safe. As mayor, she increased support for law enforcement and reduced crime — that’s the kind of leadership we need in Washington.”
TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN F.: After serving in the Navy, I became a chemistry teacher. Part of the job means lockdown drills — the kids all know about the “hard corner,” where they can hide if a shooter comes to the door.
Instead of protecting our kids, Rob Bresnahan voted against tougher gun laws, giving criminals and dangerous people easier access to guns.
Bresnahan sides with the gun lobby over our safety – putting our kids at risk.
