GIFFORDS PAC Launches New Political Award to Elect Up and Coming Gun Safety Champions
Washington DC — Today, GIFFORDS PAC, the gun safety organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, launched the new GIFFORDS Champion Award. The award will spotlight up-and-coming candidates for elected office across the country who have made preventing gun violence their top priority. Winners will be selected by GIFFORDS PAC after an application and interview process and will receive substantial support for their campaigns if selected for this distinction.
More on the award can be found here.
Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords:
“I was once a young state legislator, I know how hard it is to put yourself out there and run for office. Candidates today are proudly running on gun safety and winning because over the past 10 years, since we’ve founded GIFFORDS, we’ve changed the political landscape. I am proud to launch the GIFFORDS Champion Award today to help other leaders who are fighting for gun safety get elected to public office up and down the ballot. The 2024 election is critically important in the fight against gun violence, especially in states and localities. I am excited to see how we can help future gun safety champions win their races this cycle and beyond.”
