Sen. Shelley Moore Capito was one of 15 Republicans who voted to incentivize radical “red flag” laws, which allow firearms to be confiscated based on anonymous tips. As our U.S. Senator, I will always protect Second Amendment rights and will never support legislation that undermines the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Roll Call S. 2938 (2022): https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1172/vote_117_2_00242.htm

Standout elementDark desaturated image of opponent overlaid with ATF officers and red accusatory text 'CONFISCATE GUNS'
TacticThe ad uses a sharp contrast structure — a bright, confident candidate image paired with a dark, ominous opponent panel — to drive a fear-based Second Amendment attack that frames a Senate vote on red flag laws as a direct threat to gun ownership.
