The Cook Political Report rates the 24th District a “toss-up,” while McCaul’s and Roy’s seats are rated “lean Republican.” Crenshaw’s and Carter’s seats are classified as “likely Republican.”

Earlier this year, Everytown announced its intent to spend a minimum of $60 million nationwide in the 2020 elections.

The new ads are part of the group’s $8 million effort to pressure Republican candidates with ties to the gun rights lobby. The effort, titled “Gun Sense Majority: Texas,” is also focusing on 20 state-level races. The group said it needs to flip nine seats in order to have a “gun sense majority” in the Texas legislature.

“We’re investing in Texas because this state has one of the highest rates of gun violence deaths in the country,” Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, a part of Everytown for Gun Safety, told reporters in February.
