Throughout his career in public service, Congressman Tom Suozzi has always been focused on delivering results for his constituents. His philosophy of working with anyone who shares his goal of solving our biggest problems and improving the lives of New Yorkers has guided his work and led to notable accomplishments on many issues—including gun safety.

Congressman Suozzi knows that America’s epidemic of violence is unacceptable, driving him to become a leading advocate for lifesaving legislation at both local and national levels for decades. As Nassau County Executive, Congressman Suozzi successfully pioneered a successful gun buyback program, taking more than 1,100 illegal operable handguns off the streets during his tenure. After winning a seat in Congress in 2016, Congressman Suozzi cosponsored crucial legislation to expand background checks to all gun sales and to get guns out of the hands of those who pose a threat to themselves or others. In 2022, Congressman Suozzi also joined Democrats and Republicans alike to pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act —the first meaningful gun safety legislation to be signed into law in nearly 30 years. 

New Yorkers know that while we’ve made incredible progress in recent years, there is so much more to do to curb gun violence in our communities and keep our children and families safe. In this critical election cycle, New Yorkers must once again send a committed champion back to Washington DC. to break through the gridlock in Congress and put public safety first—and that champion is Congressman Tom Suozzi. With him continuing to help lead the charge on gun safety, real progress will be possible.

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