A group founded by astronaut Mark Kelly and his wife Gabby Giffords — the former Arizona Congresswoman who was shot in an Arizona shopping plaza in 2011 — are rolling out a six-figure TV and digital ad campaign in Minnesota this week.

The digital campaign started last week, while TV in four legislative races will begin Wednesday, including in House District 44a, currently held by Rep. Sarah Anderson, R-Plymouth, who has previously voted against background checks. Her opponent is Ginny Klevorn, a supporter of background checks.
