Gabby Giffords: Kamala Harris is the leader we need

CHICAGO — Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, founder of the national gun violence prevention organization GIFFORDS, released the following statement after Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination for president of the United States. 

“My friend, Kamala Harris, is the leader we need as the next president of the United States.  Every American deserves freedom from gun violence, and as tonight demonstrated, Vice President Harris will fight until our schools and streets are finally safe. Republicans and Democrats alike are fed up with the constant shootings on the news that make us think twice before going shopping, going to a movie, or sending our kids to school,” said former Congresswoman Giffords. “This election is about what kind of future we want. Kamala Harris is the only candidate who will fight for our freedoms, stand up to the gun lobby and close dangerous loopholes that let guns fall into the wrong hands. I will do everything I can to help her win in November.”
