Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s (D-NY) Off The Sidelines political action committee sent out a fundraising email on Tuesday in support of Colorado state Sen. Angela Giron (D), who is facing a recall election after voting in favor of new gun restrictions earlier this year.
“When Colorado passed new gun safety laws with an 18-17 vote, Democrat Angela Giron bravely cast the deciding vote,” Gillibrand wrote in the email received by TPM.
The senator from New York went on to say, “We can’t allow them to defeat Angela. It will encourage them to launch more attacks on strong women – who stand up for what’s right – in states across the country.”
Giron and three other lawmakers in the state legislature have been targeted by pro-gun groups after voting to tighten the state’s gun laws. The groups have been able to trigger recall elections for Giron and Colorado state Senate President John Morse (D).
