As the lead author of Virginia’s extreme risk law, Senator George Barker has always put the safety of his constituents over the interests of the gun lobby. He’s determined to protect our communities and keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of those seeking to do harm to themselves or others. In office, Senator Barker has fought to end deadly cycles of violence across the Commonwealth by securing needed funding for lifesaving intervention programs and championing legislation to ban ghost guns. Senator Barker has also voted to expand background checks, limit handgun sales, and strengthen safe storage requirements. Voters across the 36th District must send him back to Richmond for another term—with Senator George Barker in office, Virginians of all backgrounds can rest easier knowing they have a champion committed to saving lives fighting on their behalf.

We are proud to endorse George Barker for the Virginia Senate.
