These leaders have proven they will always stand up for public safety. They know that commonsense gun laws and responsible gun ownership go hand in hand and will champion commonsense laws proven to save lives. I’m proud to endorse them in their races.

We’re proud to endorse these candidates running to continue building on the progress we’ve seen in Maine. With their leadership, Maine will be even safer and stronger. We’re excited to keep partnering with them to push more lifesaving gun safety laws across the finish line.

Seven years ago today, a white supremacist shot and killed 23 people and injured 22 others at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. The shooter travelled more than 10 hours to target the Latino community in El Paso.

Multiple people were killed and at least two others were injured earlier today in yet another senseless mass shooting, this time at an In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho. America’s gun violence crisis is out of control. We need immediate action now.

Today, I’m proud to endorse these gun safety champions running to stand up to the gun lobby and support commonsense gun laws in Colorado. These leaders are exactly what Colorado needs at this moment, and I urge every voter to send them to the state legislature this November.

GIFFORDS@giffords.org · 5d ago

Gun violence has plagued Colorado for too long. While the state has made progress in recent years, there’s still so much more to do. We’re proud to endorse these candidates who have proven they will stop at nothing to save lives and build the safer, stronger state all Coloradans deserve.

I have no doubt that these leaders are exactly who we need in Congress fighting for our safety at this critical moment. I am proud to endorse them and look forward to working with them to pass the gun safety laws that will keep our kids and communities safe.

With Donald Trump catering to his gun CEO friends & unravelling critical gun safety protections, it is more important than ever that we reclaim a gun safety majority in the House this November. We’re proud to endorse these new gun safety champions as they work to win seats in Congress & save lives.

I'm heartbroken for everyone affected by the shooting at the Bite of Seattle festival. Community events should be places where families make memories, and our kids can simply be kids—not places where people are forced to run for safety.

I’m heartbroken to learn that nine people were shot early this morning in downtown Tucson. Too many lives have been changed forever because of America’s gun violence crisis, in my hometown and across the nation.

Throughout their careers, these leaders have led efforts to uphold public safety in their states and keep communities safe. I’m proud to endorse them in their respective elections for attorney general. Gun laws in Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada will be in good hands with their leadership.

We’re proud to endorse these strong gun safety champions running to serve their states as attorney general. These leaders have what it takes to protect lifesaving gun laws in court and push back against the gun lobby’s dangerous agenda. It’s critical voters elect them this November.

I’m proud to endorse Senator Chris Coons for reelection! Senator Coons is a champion for gun safety and has always stood with law enforcement, community leaders, and survivors of gun violence. His continued leadership is needed to combat gun violence in Delaware and across the nation.

Senator Chris Coons has always fought for commonsense gun safety laws and played a critical role in passing the landmark Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. We’re proud to endorse him in his reelection campaign as he continues to work for a safer Delaware for all.

These attorneys general have been courageous allies in the fight to end gun violence and secure justice and safety for victims of gun violence. I’m proud to endorse them each for reelection because I know they’ll continue fighting to keep our communities safe.

Attorneys general play a crucial role in defending their state’s gun laws from gun lobby attacks. We’re proud to endorse these gun safety champions as they run for reelection. We know they’ll continue to defend lifesaving laws, work to hold bad actors accountable & keep their communities safe.

As medical professionals, these candidates have seen the toll of gun violence firsthand and know we must address this public health crisis. I’m proud to endorse them, and urge voters to send them back to Washington to continue to fight for solutions that protect our communities and save lives.

Gun violence remains the number 1 killer of kids & teens in America. It's unacceptable. These medical professionals understand the devastating toll gun violence takes on families & communities, and will continue fighting for solutions we know save lives. We’re proud to endorse them for reelection.

Today, Tamir Rice should be celebrating his 24th birthday with his friends and family. But police shot and killed him while he was playing in the park at only 12 years old. Like far too many Black children in America, Tamir was robbed of his life before it even really began.

With too many Republican leaders prioritizing the gun lobby over public safety, it has never been more important that we elect leaders determined to take action and save lives. I’m proud to endorse these candidates, and I know our communities will be safer with them in Congress.

GIFFORDS@giffords.org · last mo.

Americans are tired of politicians in Washington putting the gun lobby ahead of public safety. This November, voters must elect these gun safety champions who will restore our gun safety majority in Congress and take meaningful action to end gun violence.

I’m proud to endorse these leaders for reelection. I have no doubt that with their continued leadership, Latino families will have the powerful advocates they deserve! I look forward to continuing our work together to build cities, neighborhoods, and schools that are free from gun violence.

Gun violence disproportionately impacts Latino communities, stealing thousands of lives each year. The Latino community deserves leaders in Washington who are committed to fighting for their safety. The gun safety champions we're endorsing today are exactly those leaders.

This Juneteenth, we honor those who worked to end slavery and fought for freedom. We celebrate their courage, resilience, and liberty. We also recognize that the fight for justice is far from over.

Every day, the LGBTQ+ community shows its resilience and strength in the face of hate. These leaders have proven themselves to be the voice their community needs in Congress, and if reelected, I know they will continue to push for public safety. I am proud to endorse each of these candidates.

We’re proud to endorse this slate of gun safety champions and LGBTQ+ advocates. Safety and belonging are inseparable—and as we mark Pride Month and 10 years since the Pulse nightclub tragedy, we’re reminded of what’s at stake.

Eleven years ago today, nine Black worshipers went to Bible study at Mother Emanuel AME Church and never came home. They were shot and killed by a white supremacist who never should have been able to access a gun. One other person was injured and an entire community was irrevocably changed.

15 years ago today—after five long months of beginning to relearn how to walk and talk—I was released from TIRR Memorial Hermann. I’ll always remember how it felt reaching this milestone as I readied myself for the road ahead.

Today, I’m mourning my friend Melissa and her husband Mark, as we mark one year since they were assassinated in their home. Melissa was a dedicated public servant who worked every day to improve the lives of Minnesotans. That should never have cost her or her husband their lives.

I’ll never forget the heartbreak I felt 10 years ago today when 49 people were killed and 53 others were injured in a hate-driven shooting at Pulse nightclub — the deadliest single attack on the LGBTQ community in our country’s history. They were celebrating Pride, and they should have been safe.

Today, I joined survivors and families in Orlando for the 10th annual Baquiné, a beautiful celebration of life in memory of the 49 lives stolen at Pulse nightclub 10 years ago. Love is always stronger than hate. Together, we can build a future where we are all safe to love free from gun violence.

My friend @debhaalandnm.bsky.social is determined to fight crime, protect New Mexican families and create a future free from gun violence across the state.

GIFFORDS@giffords.org · 2mo ago

We’re thrilled to endorse former congresswoman and Interior Secretary @debhaalandnm.bsky.social for governor of New Mexico! Sec. Haaland has worked to strengthen background checks, close loopholes that enable domestic violence, and keep our kids safe in schools. She is the leader New Mexico needs.
