First elected to the House in 2018, Representative Tom Malinowski has established himself as a staunch gun safety champion in Congress. Prior to representing New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, he served as Washington Director for Human Rights Watch and as Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. In both roles, he fought against policies that posed harm to humans around the world, equipping him well to take on the gun violence epidemic at home. 

In Congress, Representative Malinowski has been an effective voice for gun violence prevention. He has consistently leaned on his diplomatic experience to champion issues like tightening the oversight of firearms exports and implementing universal background checks. Congressman Malinowski has also been a strong advocate for closing the boyfriend and stalker loopholes, which allow individuals who have committed domestic abuse to purchase guns if they aren’t married to or living with their partner, and he has been a leading voice in the push to secure funding to research gun violence as a public health issue. 

Representative Malinowski has devoted his life to protecting human rights at home and abroad, and we know that he will never stop working to address the dangers of gun violence. With control of Congress likely to be decided by the slimmest of margins, it is imperative that we reelect Congressman Tom Malinowski this fall so he can continue to shape a better, safer future for families and communities across New Jersey.

We are proud to endorse Tom Malinowski for the US House of Representatives.
