Jackie Gordon is a combat veteran, educator, and community leader who is running for Congress in New York’s Second District. Jackie was born in Jamaica, grew up in Queens, and worked in New York public schools for three decades. She also served a 29-year career in the Army Reserve, deploying to both Iraq and Afghanistan after September 11th and retiring at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

As a veteran with extensive experience handling firearms throughout her long military career, Jackie understands the importance of gun safety. In Congress, she’ll support commonsense policies like universal background checks and extreme risk protection orders that will keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. Jackie has dedicated her life to serving her community and keeping it safe. New Yorkers can count on her to continue that service when it comes to fighting for gun violence prevention in Congress.

We are proud to endorse Jackie Gordon for the US House of Representatives in 2020.
