ENDORSED

As an immigrant who grew up under difficult circumstances, Senator Mazie Hirono has seen the incredible opportunities available to anyone in America firsthand, and throughout her career, she’s fought to give back to the country that gave her and her family so much. Having spent decades in public service—including working in the Hawaii attorney general’s office, serving in the Hawaii House of Representatives, representing her community as lieutenant governor, and pushing for solutions to the toughest issues facing Hawaiians in Congress and now as her state’s junior United States Senator—Senator Hirono has proven time and again that she’ll never give up in the pursuit of making a difference, especially on intractable issues like curtailing gun violence.
In Washington DC, Senator Hirono has been a strong gun safety champion and worked on the front lines of so many pieces of legislation designed to improve our country’s weak gun laws. As a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, she’s been a tireless advocate for commonsense measures like expanding background checks to all gun sales, implementing strong legislation designed to disarm domestic abusers, regulating the availability of untraceable ghost guns, and banning the sale of deadly assault weapons, bump stocks, and large-capacity magazines. Senator Hirono has also worked to hold the gun industry accountable for their role in too many senseless shootings and ensure that individuals who have engaged in hate-based violence can’t get their hands on weapons. In 2022, she joined colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass the landmark Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which made gun trafficking a federal crime and marked the largest investment in lifesaving community violence intervention programs in American history.
This November, Hawaiians must reelect a champion who has their safety top of mind—and that is Senator Hirono. By sending her back to Capitol Hill, we can ensure that we maintain a gun safety majority in the US Senate and continue to pass desperately needed legislation to save lives from gun violence and build a safer future for the next generation. With Senator Mazie Hirono helping lead the way on gun safety, we know real progress is possible.
