Sen. Mark Udall will be targeted by the National Rifle Association in a print media campaign running in Colorado and a handful of other states with Democratic senators up for re-election.
WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association plans to target Democrats up for re-election in 2014 — including Sen. Mark Udall — with a print ad blitz starting Thursday.
Roll Call reported, citing “sources close to the group” that the print and digital ads will run in Louisiana, Maine, North Carolina, West Virginia, Alaska, Colorado, Montana, New Hampshire and South Dakota.
The group will also run ads in USA Today starting Feb. 25, which will hit at least 15 states, according to the story.
Seemingly the NRA is also targeting at least one moderate Republican, Sen. Susan Collins, in Maine, who is also up for re-election next year.
Udall hasn’t taken a stand on the proposed assault-weapons ban in the U.S. Senate and was given a “C” grade by the NRA in recent ratings.
