ENDORSED
BY GIFFORDS
As an officer in the US Navy, an education nonprofit leader, a congressman, and under secretary of defense, Gil Cisneros has dedicated his life to service, taking action, and getting results.
Like so many in this movement, former representative Cisneros knows the pain that gun violence can inflict on a family—he lost his maternal grandfather in a grocery store robbery that resulted in a shooting. In office, Representative Cisneros worked to turn his personal pain into action and made gun violence prevention one of his signature issues. He was a staunch supporter of the Bipartisan Background Checks Act and proudly voted to authorize the first federal funding to study gun violence in decades. As part of one of the most active gun safety majorities in recent history, Representative Cisneros fought to pass the Enhanced Background Checks Act, which would give law enforcement more time to complete background checks so dangerous weapons don’t fall into the hands of those seeking to hurt themselves or others, or those who are legally barred from possessing them. Representative Cisneros also championed legislation to address the boyfriend loophole and other measures to disarm domestic abusers.
With so much on the line in 2024, it’s imperative voters send champions with real lived experience to Capitol Hill to advocate for meaningful solutions to curb our nation’s epidemic of gun violence—starting with Congressman Gil Cisneros. With him leading the way on this issue once again in a new gun safety majority, we know that real progress in the fight to save lives will be possible.
