This is a conservative Super PAC based in Loveland, CO that was created to sponsor electioneering activities on behalf of pro-gun candidates.
The group is mostly funded by the National Association for Gun Rights and numerous individual contributors. In the 2022 election cycle, the Super PAC made about $246,767 in independent expenditures in U.S. Senate races against Democrats and moderate Republicans. 2022 was the first year it was active in Wisconsin state politics.
Less than a week before the Nov. 8 election, the committee first reported making independent expenditures to oppose the reelection of Democratic incumbent Gov. Tony Evers. It reported spending over $4,300 for online advertisements against Evers starting in mid-October. After the election, it reported it had spent about another $400 for online advertisements opposing Evers.
This organization is an unregistered independent expenditure committee that is required to report any such spending done within 60 days of a primary or an election to the Wisconsin Ethics Commission per Chapter 11, Subchapter X of Wisconsin Statutes.
