Representative Chris Pappas has always put the people of New Hampshire first. Born and raised in Manchester, Congressman Pappas is a community-driven leader who has a record of addressing some of the Granite State’s most pressing challenges. As both a small business owner and former member of the New Hampshire Executive Council, he has dedicated his time in public service to putting people before politics in order to deliver opportunities for families in every community across his state. 

In Congress, Representative Pappas has brought this same style of leadership to the fight to end gun violence. Like so many in our movement, he knows that while gun violence claims lives everyday in our country, we are not powerless in our ability to keep our communities safe. He believes that we have a moral responsibility to act, and can do so while maintaining the culture of hunting and responsible gun ownership in New Hampshire. Congressman Pappas supports lifesaving measures, including implementing universal background checks on all gun sales and closing the Charleston Loophole, and he has made it a top priority to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who have committed domestic abuse. Representative Pappas has also consistently supported funding gun violence research and was instrumental in helping pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in 2022—the first major gun safety legislation to be signed into law in nearly 30 years.

This race will be one of the toughest in the country this cycle, and it is so important that we regain our gun safety majority in the House by reelecting committed champions in the fight to save lives like Representative Chris Pappas this November. We know that he has the courage to act to end gun violence, and the people of New Hampshire deserve a legislator like him who will always put their safety above all else.

We are proud to endorse Chris Pappas for the US House of Representatives.
