DPG Calls on Ron DeSantis to Pull Down Gun Store Campaign Stop Following School Shooting

March 28, 2023

Ahead of Ron DeSantis’ scheduled campaign stop at a gun store in Smyrna, Georgia on Thursday, Congresswoman Nikema Williams, Chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia, released the following statement:

“Holding a campaign event at a gun store days after another horrific school shooting where innocent children were murdered should be beyond the pale, but Ron DeSantis seems to not care. DeSantis is showing Georgians exactly where his priorities lie as he advocates for an extreme MAGA agenda that could make it easier for criminals to carry guns in Florida and puts the gun lobby ahead of our children’s lives. DeSantis should cancel this event immediately.”
