WASHINGTON —GIFFORDS PAC, the national gun violence prevention organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, congratulated Phil Weiser on his election to serve as the next governor of Colorado.

“Congratulations to Phil Weiser on his hard-fought victory to become Colorado’s next governor. I am thrilled that voters across Colorado have made their voices heard and will be sending a gun safety champion to their state’s highest office,” said former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. “Governor-elect Weiser has dedicated his career to advancing public safety. He has the courage to stand up to corrupt gun industry interests and will continue working tirelessly to keep guns out of the wrong hands.
