ENDORSED
BY GIFFORDS
Representative Summer Lee is an organizer and attorney who has dedicated her life to ending America’s epidemic of gun violence. In 2017, she jumpstarted her political career by spearheading a successful write-in campaign that transformed her local school board following repeated incidents of violence against local students by police and school administrators. In 2018, she continued to push for change in her community by taking on a 20-year incumbent and winning a seat in the state legislature with over two-thirds of the vote—and in 2022, she made history once again by becoming Pennsylvania’s first Black congresswoman.
Throughout her time in office, Representative Lee has been a voice for working families and a champion for gun safety legislation. She supports implementing a ban on assault weapons, expanding background checks to all gun sales, ending protections for corporate gun manufacturers, and passing bold legislation to stop the mass shootings that have become all too common in schools, churches, stores, and cities across America. Representative Lee has also led the conversation in Pennsylvania around community violence—emphasizing that in communities like hers, widespread violence happens in the streets every day and has been ignored for too long. As a state legislator, she fought for needed investments in schools, after-school programs, and wrap-around services so that people have a choice in shaping their own future, and in Washington DC, she’s been a vocal member of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force and a strong champion of the Disarm Hate Act, which would prohibit the sale of a firearm to anyone who has been convicted of a misdemeanor hate crime.
If reelected to Congress this fall, Representative Lee will continue to work with anyone to protect our children and families and shield Pennsylvania communities from harm. It’s critical for gun safety champions to retake a majority in the House this fall. That starts with ensuring that leaders like Representative Summer Lee, who will always find the courage to act on this life or death issue, are sent back to Washington DC in 2025.
