NY-03: Suozzi Win Is a Victory for Gun Safety
“Voters across the country want leaders who will take a strong stand against gun lobby special interests.”
Washington DC —GIFFORDS PAC, the gun safety organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, congratulated Congressman Tom Suozzi on winning the special election for New York’s Third Congressional District. Congressman Suozzi, a leading advocate for gun violence prevention, made the issue a cornerstone of his campaign.
In what POLITICO called the biggest special election of the cycle, this victory for Democrats and gun violence prevention advocates across the country signals the importance of gun safety this November.
Emma Brown, GIFFORDS Executive Director
“This race was a bellwether for November and the results are clear: gun safety continues to be a winning issue. Congressman Tom Suozzi focused on commonsense public safety measures that will save lives, and flipped this seat. Americans across the country want leaders who will take a strong stand against gun lobby special interests, and with this news, we’re on our way to a gun safety majority in Congress.”
GIFFORDS PAC endorsed Congressman Suozzi in January.
