In the past few years, critical off-cycle races have happened within the state of Georgia.
From the 2017 special election in the Atlanta suburbs that elected Karen Handel – which was at the time the most expensive U.S. House Race in American history – to the dual Senate runoff of January 2021 when Republicans lost two U.S. Senate seats, it seems like everyone has been going down to Georgia to gain a greater grip on power in Washington, D.C. recently.
This year is no different.
Separate from dollars spent by campaigns and party committees on both the Democrat and Republican sides, outside groups are spending big in Georgia again this year.
One group backing Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker, who is running to unseat Senator Raphael Warnock (who himself is running for his first full term) is the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Per The Truth About Guns:
The left’s eternal bogeyman on gun rights, the National Rifle Association, had made a $1.5 million push to help get Hershel Walker over the finish line in the Georgia run-off election for US Senate. The former Heisman Trophy winner and 12-year NFL veteran gives Georgia residents a viable alternative to the so-called reverend, slumlord, and gun control supporter Raphael Warnock.
The NRA, in particular, the NRA Political Victory Fund (PVF) knows that the pro-gun voice in Georgia could be a major difference-maker in this election.
An October 2022 CBS News/You Gov poll – even referenced by CNN – showed that over half (53%) of likely Republican voters said that gun policy was important to them.
The Reload notes:
Thus far, the major gun-control groups have not matched the NRA’s spending. The latest FEC filings for Everytown for Gun Safety’s Super PAC show it has only spent $1500 for phone calls in support of incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock (D.). Neither Brady PAC nor Giffords PAC have submitted updated filings since the general election. None of the gun-control groups’ websites refer to any new spending or advertising campaigns ahead of the final Senate race…
Overall, the NRA has seen 17 of its 21 endorsed Senate candidates secure electoral victory thus far, according to a review by The Reload.
The NRA is doing all it can to ensure that the pro-Second Amendment voters in Georgia can and do make their voices heard at the polls – on or before the day of the runoff election next Tuesday, December 6th.
