VICTORY: Gun safety champion James Talarico elected as next U.S. Senator from Texas

WASHINGTON — GIFFORDS PAC, the national gun violence prevention organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, congratulated James Talarico on his election to the United States Senate for Texas. 

“Congratulations to Senator-elect Talarico on his hard-fought, history-making victory in Texas,” said former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. “For the first time in decades, and following devastating shootings across Texas in recent years, the Lone Star State will have a United States senator whose priority is the safety of Texans rather than the gun lobby’s donations. GIFFORDS looks forward to working with the senator-elect in Washington to keep guns out of dangerous hands and ensure law enforcement is fully funded to address violent crime.”

GIFFORDS PAC endorsed Talarico and former Congresswoman Giffords campaigned on his behalf across Texas.
