As a first-generation Korean American, State Senator Dave Min wants his kids to grow up in the same California that attracted his parents and so many immigrants like them to come plant roots there—where everyone has a fair shot at the American Dream and where the safety of our children and communities is a top priority. A key part of that work is preventing the same deadly gun violence that has rocked communities across the country.

In Sacramento, Senator Min has led the charge to end gun shows on the Orange County Fairgrounds and helped enact a first-in-the-nation effort to end the sale of firearms and ammunition on all state property in California. He also championed efforts to require that gun dealers have proper training and surveillance protocols to prevent fraudulent sales and theft. If elected to Congress this fall, he’ll continue to be a strong advocate for commonsense measures to reduce violence while respecting the Second Amendment rights of all Americans. In Washington DC, he’s committed to supporting bills to expand background checks to all gun sales, adequately fund lifesaving community violence intervention programs, implement red flag laws that allow families and law enforcement to petition a court to disarm those who pose a risk to themselves or others, and incentivize the safe storage of firearms.

The gun lobby knows that Senator Min represents a threat to its future plans, and it is going to spend everything it has to win back California’s Forty-Seventh District this fall. A gun safety majority in the House runs straight through this district—and this November, we need to send Senator Dave Min to Capitol Hill to keep it in the hands of a gun safety champion. We know that with him leading the way, real progress is possible.

We are proud to endorse Dave Min for the US House of Representatives.
