Delegate Danica Roem knows we have lost too many lives to suicide and senseless gun violence—and that it’s possible to keep our communities safe without infringing upon the Second Amendment rights of responsible gun owners. Throughout her time in the Virginia House of Delegates, Delegate Roem has voted for numerous gun safety bills that have been signed into law, including measures to require universal background checks, bills to allow localities to regulate firearms in government buildings, and a law to enact extreme risk protection orders that allow a judge to issue an emergency order to prohibit someone who is in imminent danger of hurting themselves or others from purchasing, possessing, or transporting a firearm. Within her community in Prince William County, these measures have already had a profoundly positive effect, as local law enforcement have been empowered to intervene in preventing suicides and homicides more than a dozen times. Now, Delegate Roem is hoping to continue her work of passing landmark legislation in the Virginia Senate. To get there, though, she’ll have to win one of the toughest races in the Commonwealth this fall. Voters must mobilize like never before to get this incredible gun safety champion back to Richmond. With Delegate Danica Roem leading the charge, we can create a safer Virginia for the next generation.

We are proud to endorse Danica Roem for the Virginia Senate.
