Toomey's gun-control stance wins support from Gabby Giffords' PAC
by Justine McDaniel, STAFF WRITER
Former Rep. Gabby Giffords and her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly (left), announced the endorsement of Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) in an opinion piece written for CNN.
A gun-safety group founded by former Rep. Gabby Giffords endorsed Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) Monday, adding to a growing list of gun-control supporters backing the incumbent.
The political action committee, Americans for Responsible Solutions, said it hopes to line up more support for its cause among congressional Republicans like Toomey. At the same time, its backing could help the incumbent, locked in an ever-closer race with Democrat Katie McGinty, attract moderate voters.
Giffords and her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, announced the endorsement in an opinion piece written for CNN - but said their decision in Pennsylvania was difficult. They called McGinty "a passionate advocate for gun violence prevention" who would be "a consistent vote for life-saving gun safety laws."
