Broward County Commissioner Jared Moskowitz knows the deep pain gun violence can inflict on a community. In February 2018, his hometown of Parkland, Florida, became the site of one of the deadliest school shootings in modern American history when 17 students and staff were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
At the time, Commissioner Moskowitz represented his community in the Florida House of Representatives, and he worked with the families of victims to pass the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act into law. This comprehensive gun violence prevention, school safety, and mental health package, which is named for Commissioner Moskowitz’s alma mater, raised the age to buy a gun from 18 to 21, established a three-day waiting period for all gun purchases, expanded background checks, banned bump stocks, and created extreme risk protection order laws that empower law enforcement to take guns away from especially dangerous individuals. Motivated by a desire to keep Floridian communities safe, Commissioner Moskowitz assumed the role of director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management in 2019, and later won election to a seat on the Broward County Commission in 2022.
Recent tragedies have made it clear that the voices of those impacted by gun violence need to be heard in Washington, and we need to elect more gun safety champions to office this fall. With Commissioner Jared Moskowitz helping to lead the way in Congress, we know that commonsense solutions that will help to curb America’s epidemic of gun violence can be signed into law and communities across the country will never again have to endure the same pain felt in Parkland.
