Having experienced the very real impacts of the Pulse nightclub shooting firsthand, Representative Darren Soto’s community knows the pain of gun violence all too well. As one of Florida’s most prominent gun safety champions, Representative Soto has striven to save lives from senseless shootings and he’s championed measures that would help build a safer future for children and families across the Sunshine State.
Like so many in this movement, Representative Soto knows that it’s unconscionable that our elected leaders have allowed our country’s epidemic of gun violence to go unchecked, and he’s working every day in Washington DC to pass the commonsense laws needed to make real change across the United States. In office, Representative Soto has supported bipartisan efforts to expand background checks to all gun purchases, disarm those who pose threats to themselves or others, and adequately fund lifesaving community violence intervention programs. He’s also pushed for a ban on the sale of assault weapons, large-capacity magazines, and dangerous bump stocks—all of which have been used to massacre innocent civilians at movie theaters, concerts, houses of worship and in schools across the country. In 2022, Representative Soto joined colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass the landmark Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which became the first major gun safety bill signed into law in nearly 30 years.
Representative Darren Soto has the courage to stand up to the corporate gun lobby and their enablers in Congress to get hard things done, and Floridians must mobilize like never before to send him back to Capitol Hill in November. With him helping to lead the way on this issue, we know that a future free from gun violence will finally be within reach for Florida families.
