Conor Lamb: to the left, to the left

July 19, 2021

Conor Lamb’s evolution from a faux-moderate candidate to a full-blown progressive liberal is well documented.

The most recent victim of Lamb’s shift leftward? Gun rights backers.

After running as a pro-gun moderate in 2018, Lamb announced his support for Joe Biden’s ATF nominee, David Chipman – a gun control activist who has “advocated for tougher gun laws, including limits on high-capacity magazines and an assault-style weapons ban.”

NRCC Comment: “Every time Conor Lamb flip-flops on an issue to appeal to the left for a statewide run, it becomes more evident he only cares about advancing his own career – not serving the needs of his constituents.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock
