Folks, During my time representing Rhode Island’s First District in Congress, it’s become an all-too-common story. Communities ripped apart by gun violence. Students traumatized by bullets flying in classrooms. More Americans wounded or dead from gun violence, more families devastated. After the tragedy in Parkland in 2018, it felt like the country might finally work together to address gun violence. But over two years have passed and nothing has changed. Our kids are not any safer in school than they were on that day. And so, I’ve redoubled my efforts to end the epidemic of gun violence. I launched the Gun Safety Political Action Committee (PAC) to help elect candidates to Congress who are 100% committed to ending gun violence in our country. Gun Safety PAC, which is the only congressional leadership PAC dedicated to ending gun violence, will identify and support candidates who will vote for and pass gun safety legislation that will put an end to this crisis.

I started this fight back when I was mayor of Providence and helped found Mayors Against Illegal Guns. I've continued to lead the fight in Congress as Vice-Chair of the Gun Violence Task Force. I’ve also introduced legislation to reinstate the Assault Weapons Ban and to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them. While the Democratic majority in Congress has made some progress by passing a universal background checks bill through the House, Republicans in the Senate have successfully stopped any gun safety legislation from becoming law. With less than 3 months until the November election, we need to ensure that we have a majority in Congress so we can get critical, common-sense gun safety legislation off of Mitch McConnell’s desk. It’s become clear that the only way things will change is if we change who we send to Washington.
I’m confident that if we work together and support candidates who are not afraid of the NRA, we can finally address gun violence. We owe it to all those who have lost their lives to gun violence and to the families they have left behind to pass meaningful gun safety legislation into law. Thank you, -- David
