As a mother of four, State Representative Janelle Bynum knows that we are failing our kids every day that we allow America’s gun violence epidemic to go unchecked. In the state legislature, Representative Bynum has developed a proven track record of putting our children and families first and been a powerful voice for commonsense gun safety measures, earning her an F rating from the NRA in the process. In Congress, she’s determined to continue taking decisive action to bolster community safety and save lives across Oregon.
If elected to the US House, Representative Bynum is determined to take on the same challenges she’s helped tackle in Salem at the national level. In office, she worked to pass numerous measures to keep her constituents safe—like bills to crack down on the proliferation of dangerous untraceable ghost guns, disarm domestic abusers and stalkers, and incentivize gun owners to safely store their weapons. She also helped pave the way for the passage of extreme risk legislation in her state, which gave families and law enforcement officers the ability to petition a court to remove firearms from an individual exhibiting signs of wanting to harm themselves or others. In Washington DC, Representative Bynum will be a tireless advocate for expanding background checks to all gun sales, funding research into the root causes of gun violence, and supporting lifesaving community violence intervention programs.
For the last two years, Republicans in Congress have put politics ahead of public safety time and time again. It’s crucial that we regain a gun safety majority in the chamber this fall to get back to achieving real results for the American people—especially as too many continue to have their lives changed forever by gun violence. That potential majority runs through Oregon’s Fifth District, and it’s so important that voters mobilize like never before to send Representative Janelle Bynum to Washington DC to advocate on their behalf. With her helping lead the way on this issue, we know progress is possible and a safer future is within reach.
