GUN SAFETY VICTORY: Jacky Rosen reelected as Nevada’s senator

WASHINGTON —GIFFORDS, the national gun violence prevention organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, congratulated Sen. Jacky Rosen on securing her reelection to the United States Senate, where she will serve her second term. GIFFORDS Executive Director Emma Brown campaigned for Rosen the weekend before the election. 

“Congratulations to Senator Jacky Rosen for winning reelection to her critical seat in Nevada,” said former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. “Senator Rosen knows all too well how gun violence can forever change a community, and she is committed to stopping gun violence. GIFFORDS was proud to help reelect her and we look forward to continuing to work with her in the fight against gun violence.” 

Rosen has worked with members of both parties to tackle the complex issues facing her state’s children and families—including Nevada’s gun violence crisis. In the wake of the mass shooting at the Route 91 Music Festival in Las Vegas, Rosen took immediate action to introduce and support commonsense measures that would prevent future shootings, including legislation to ban the sale of large-capacity magazines, bump stocks, and deadly assault weapons. 

In 2018, Rosen took her fight for safer communities to the next level by running for the U.S. Senate and flipping a red seat blue in the process. In office, she’s continued to be a determined leader in the fight to expand background checks to all gun sales and to keep firearms out of the hands of those who seek to harm themselves or others.

In 2022, Rosen took additional action to reduce gun violence by joining colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first major gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years.
