A major gun control organization on Tuesday endorsed Arizona Senate candidate Mark Kelly (D), whose wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.), retired from Congress after she was shot in the head in 2011.

The organization Brady, formerly known as the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, endorsed Kelly as one of several “leaders who will help solve our gun violence epidemic.”

“As a survivor of gun violence, it's hard to express how meaningful it will be to add a voice to the Senate who has seen firsthand what the cost of congressional inaction looks like,” Christian Hayne, Brady's vice president of policy, said. “When elected, Mark Kelly will honorably serve Arizonans, putting their safety and the safety of the American people first.”

Kelly and Giffords have both been advocates for stronger gun reform measures since the shooting and “share a core belief that common-sense gun laws can save lives without infringing on the Second Amendment,” Brady said in the statement.

1. I only read this in one place, might have been on DU, but there was a lawsuit in AZ filed by

2 dems, 1 repug and 1 indie challenging McSally's tenure in Congress until the 2020 election. Something about her tenure till the 2020 election being unconstitutional so the election for her seat would have to be before the 2020 election. The 9th Circuit has agreed to expedite.

Anybody else read this???
