Giffords<\/a> endorsed challenger<\/a> Dana Balter<\/a> in CD-24<\/a> against incumbent Congressman John Katko<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… Giffords PAC endorsed Balter because of the Syracuse Democrat’s stances on legislation to combat gun violence. She supports universal background checks for gun purchases, a federal assault weapons ban and prohibiting the production of armor-piercing bullets and high capacity magazines. She opposes the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would require states to recognize concealed carry permits issued in other states. And she supports “red flag” laws, which would provide mechanisms for taking guns away from people who could harm themselves or others …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They endorsed her last time around and it did nothing for the campaign.<\/p>\n

A cursory inspection of FEC<\/a> records indicates no expenditures by Giffords on behalf of Balter.<\/p>\n
