ENDORSED
BY GIFFORDS
Representative Delia Ramirez is an accomplished legislator, community leader, and coalition builder who has dedicated her life and career to advocating for Illinois families. A core tenet of that work is keeping her constituents safe from harm—and Representative Ramirez has proven herself to be a strong champion for the solutions needed to curb America’s epidemic of gun violence in Congress.
Having grown up in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood—where gun violence is unfortunately all too common—Representative Ramirez is acutely aware of the need to tackle this crisis head on. She knows that building safe communities requires a comprehensive plan that includes funding community-based youth programs and mental health services, investing in domestic violence prevention, and reinvesting in communities that have long been neglected. As a state legislator, she fought to do just that—and secured $250 million for community-based violence prevention in neighborhoods most impacted by gun violence. In Congress, she’s continued to lead on gun safety and cosponsored legislation to expand background checks, ban assault-style weapons, and reduce the flow of illegal guns across state lines. As a former social services director, she knows that we must support street outreach intervention and restorative justice programs in our schools and community centers.
Representative Delia Ramirez knows what it takes to make real change, and she’s prepared to continue doing the hard work necessary to save lives across her state from senseless violence in a new gun safety majority. With her in office, Illinoisans will have an unparalleled champion who will work around the clock to keep their communities safe.
