GIFFORDS celebrates gun safety trifecta in Minnesota

WASHINGTON —   Today, GIFFORDS PAC, the gun safety organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, celebrated the election of Governor-elect Amy Klobuchar and Democratic victories in the Minnesota House of Representatives and Senate that paved the way to a majority in both chambers. 

“This is a major victory for public safety in Minnesota — a state that has seen so much senseless gun violence in recent years. Governor-elect Klobuchar will work tirelessly to save lives in the state and put public safety ahead of partisan politics. With last night’s wins, where Democrats firmly reestablished their House gun safety majority and expanded their Senate majority, and with the election of a gun safety champion in Governor-elect Klobuchar, we know a safer future is coming to the North Star State,” said former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.  

“We congratulate all the GIFFORDS PAC endorsed candidates who held and flipped important seats in St. Paul. We’re excited to get to work to finish the job on a number of issues and save lives,” Giffords added.
