Democratic congressional candidate Brent Welder — who is seeking to challenge incumbent Republican Kevin Yoder — sent out a campaign email Saturday that linked the deaths of two deputies in Kansas City to the gun control debate, according to the Kansas City Star .
The email provided a link to an online petition to tell Yoder to stop accepting money from the National Rifle Association, as well as a link to a campaign fundraising page for Welder. The email even included promotional information about an upcoming gun control rally.
