Here is the ad that Run For Something ran in the Sun Sentinel:

The ad reads, “THE NRA IS KILLING OUR KIDS. These 24 state legislators are running unopposed this November — and they’re complicit in the gun violence in our community. Hold them accountable. Run against them. We will help you.”
According to their website, 50% of the candidates that Run For Something endorsed in 2017 won, “In 2017, we endorsed about 100 first and second-time candidates. Of those who had elections in November, about 50% of them won!”
The political climate in Florida has been rocked by the Parkland shooting. Republicans are getting desperate. They are trying to get Gov. Rick Scott to remove the Broward County sheriff because they are trying to distract from their own role in making Florida one of the states where it is easiest to purchase a weapon of mass killing.
The 24 state legislators in who are running unopposed should have opposition. The people of Florida deserve a legislature that will enact the popular will. From Pulse to Parkland, Floridians have had too much first-hand experience with the consequences of the NRA making the state’s firearms policy. The people are angry after Stoneman Douglas, and they are getting organized to hold NRA owned Republican legislators accountable.
The candidates are coming, and half-measures aren’t going to be enough to protect NRA owned Florida incumbents from being challenged in November.
