Candidate
Pramila Jayapal
US House
Washington
— 7th District Democrat
Incumbent2024
As chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Representative Pramila Jayapal has been at the forefront of some of the most consequential legislative debates in recent history. She has led her colleagues with courage and conviction, and has always put the best interests of the American people first. She knows our gun laws are not living up to our nation’s promise and is a determined advocate for the types of commonsense solutions needed to protect children and families across the country.
Representative Jayapal came to the US as a teenager and spent 20 years as an advocate for civil and human rights, especially relating to women and immigrants, before being elected to public office. Prior to her time on Capitol Hill, Representative Jayapal served for two years in the Washington State Senate, and throughout her career she has been a long-standing gun safety advocate. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, she helped pass an ambitious package of gun safety legislation through the House—the Protecting Our Kids Act—which addressed numerous issues like safe storage and the proliferation of ghost guns. Representative Jayapal also played a key role in passing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years to be signed into law. Additionally, she introduced the bipartisan Preventing Suicide Through Voluntary Firearm Purchase Delay Act, which allows individuals to enroll themselves onto a voluntary firearm purchase delay list for firearms in times of crisis.
We need courageous leaders in Washington DC who will stand up to the corrupt actions of the gun lobby and prioritize the safety of everyday Americans. Representative Pramila Jayapal is an unparalleled champion for safer communities, and we know she will never back down from the fight to save lives. Washington voters must send her back to Congress, where we know she’ll continue to lead efforts to protect our children and families from senseless gun violence.
