GIFFORDS PAC Endorses Top Gun Safety Leaders in US House for Reelection
Washington DC — Today, GIFFORDS PAC, the national gun violence prevention organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, endorsed nine leading gun safety champions in the US House for reelection. These members hold leadership positions in the House Democratic Caucus and select branches of the Congressional Tri-Caucus, and they have helped usher in landmark action on gun safety in recent years. It is critical that gun safety champions retake a majority in the House and continue to prioritize gun violence prevention and the safety of the American people.
Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords
“The representatives we’re endorsing today are committed public servants who have helped courageously lead the fight in the US House of Representatives for years to pass meaningful gun safety legislation. They have consistently prioritized the safety of Americans over the corrupt influence of the corporate gun lobby and affected real change. For the last two years, House Republicans have produced chaos and inefficiency. We must flip the House this November to get back to doing the work Americans need, like action on gun safety. In a new majority, these leaders will be instrumental in getting lifesaving measures like universal background checks and stronger safe storage requirements across the finish line. I’m proud to stand alongside them in this critical election.”
The slate of endorsed candidates include:
- Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08)
- Katherine Clark (MA-05)
- Pete Aguilar (CA-33)
- Ted Lieu (CA-36)
- Suzan DelBene (WA-01)
- Nancy Pelosi (CA-11)
- Jim Clyburn (SC-06)
- Steven Horsford (NV-04)
- Judy Chu (CA-28)
