Gun safety champions Aaron Ford and Sandra Jauregui elected as Nevada governor and lieutenant governor

WASHINGTON —GIFFORDS PAC, the national gun violence prevention organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, congratulated Governor-elect Aaron Ford and Lieutenant Governor-elect Sandra Jauregui on their victories in Nevada. 

“Nevada has a brighter, safer future with the incoming leadership of Governor-elect Aaron Ford and Lieutenant Governor-elect Sandra Jauregui, and we are thrilled to congratulate them,” said former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. “Aaron and Sandra have both been champions for gun safety throughout their careers and we know those efforts will continue. As attorney general, Aaron Ford fought for commonsense policies to keep Nevadans safe. As a survivor of the devastating 1 October mass shooting in 2017, Lieutenant Governor-elect Jauregui knows firsthand how important this issue is. GIFFORDS looks forward to working with them both to continue strengthening the state’s gun laws.”

GIFFORDS PAC endorsed Ford and Jauregui in May 2026. Former Congresswoman Giffords also visited Nevada several times throughout the cycle to campaign with both candidates, including joining Jauregui for a rollout of her public safety platform and stumping for both leaders in October 2026.
