Brady, an anti-gun violence group founded by former Reagan aide Jim Brady and his wife Sarah, debuted two new ads first obtained by The Hill as part of its "#FilibusterIsKillingUs" campaign that calls on the Senate to eliminate the 60-vote threshold required for most legislation to pass.
The organization plans to spend $40,000 on its initial round of digital ads, with more outreach likely moving forward.
"In the past four Congresses, the filibuster has stopped life-saving and common-sense legislation such as expanded and strengthened background checks from passing the Senate, creating a chilling effect on such legislation even as these policies attract overwhelming support from the American public, including majorities of both parties," the organization said in a statement.
