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

Under her leadership, New Mexico families can trust that their governor will lead the fight to save lives. I am proud to endorse her, and can’t wait for her to become the first female Native American governor in our country.

Greg Jackson is a trailblazer in the violence prevention field.

As a survivor of gun violence himself and a pioneer of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, @GregoryJackson knows exactly what must be done to build a safer DC for all. We’re proud to endorse him for an at-large seat on the DC City Council.

I’m proud to endorse this slate of courageous leaders.

Asian Americans deserve champions who fight for their safety. With these committed advocates in Congress, the safer future we all deserve is within reach.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Nine years ago, my friend @Sandra4NV survived the horrific 1 October mass shooting in Las Vegas. She knows exactly how urgent America’s gun violence crisis is, and what our elected leaders should be doing to prevent tragedies like that from ever happening again.

I’m proud to see how she has turned her pain into action, and to endorse her in her election for lieutenant governor in Nevada.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Attorney General @AaronDFordNV has proven that public safety is and will always be a top priority for him.

AG Ford refuses to let gun violence go unaddressed, and has what it takes to hold gun lobby–backed politicians accountable. I’m proud to endorse him.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Texans need a fighter who isn’t afraid to take on the gun lobby and protect our communities from gun violence. Rep. @JamesTalarico is that fighter, and I am proud to endorse him for the US Senate.

I look forward to working with him to build a safer future for Texas, and for all Americans.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

I am proud to endorse this slate of state leaders. Each of these candidates are deeply committed to addressing public safety and refuse to ignore the gun violence epidemic impacting Texas communities.

With them in Austin, Texans will see real change.

[Marni von Wilpert for Congress @marnivonwilpert]

Proud to have the support of @GIFFORDS_org in our campaign to defeat MAGA Jim Desmond and protect our communities from gun violence. I’ve taken on the gun lobby and won — now, we’re going to continue that fight in Congress.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Right now, too many lawmakers in Washington refuse to take action on America’s gun violence crisis.

I’m proud to endorse these leaders who are stepping up to take back a gun safety majority in the U.S. House and fight for the change we all deserve.

With them in office, progress is possible.

[GIFFORDS @GIFFORDS_org]

All across the country, state leaders are stepping up to pass lifesaving gun safety laws and protect their communities. 

That’s why we’re proud to endorse these gun safety champions running for state legislatures nationwide. These leaders are ready to build on this progress, stand up to the gun lobby, and put people over politics.

[Tiffany Muller @Tiffany_Muller]

You could feel the energy in tonight’s town hall with @Giffords_org for @Mendoza4AZ. Arizona voters are ready for change, and in November, JoAnna Mendoza is going to give it to them.

[End Citizens United @StopBigMoney]

Tonight’s packed town hall with @Giffords_org is proof that Arizonans are tired of leaders like Juan Ciscomani, who's putting the gun lobby's bottom line above public safety.

That’s why we endorsed @Mendoza4AZ, because she’s running to put the needs of Arizona families first.

[End Citizens United @StopBigMoney]

🚨We're hosting a town hall with @GIFFORDS_org next week!

Join @Mendoza4AZ, @Tiffany_Muller, and @Emma_S_Brown for a discussion on special interests and their impact on public safety.

[Daniella Diaz @DaniellaMicaela]

First on NOTUS:

Gabby Giffords, a former House Democrat from Arizona, tried to speak with Mike Johnson after a recent mass shooting in his hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana, but he declined. Giffords, who survived her own shooting to become one of the country’s most prominent advocates for gun-violence prevention, reached out to the speaker this week after the horrifying incident.

“I want us to work together to ensure it never happens again. I mourn for your constituents, as I trust you do, and I know there are bipartisan reforms that can save lives,” Giffords wrote Johnson in a letter dated Wednesday. “I hoped to discuss this with you on the telephone and was disappointed when you declined my request.”

Johnson’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

From serving our country in uniform to championing commonsense gun safety laws, these leaders have dedicated their careers to keeping our communities safe. I’m grateful to have them as partners in this fight, and I’m proud to endorse them for reelection.

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

Gabby Giffords’ fearless advocacy has been a constant source of inspiration for me, and I am honored to be endorsed by @GIFFORDS_org.

[Christian Mitchell @cmitchellforlg]

I’m proud to receive the endorsement of @GIFFORDS_org.

And I'm grateful to stand alongside Gabby Giffords in the fight to end gun violence.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Governor @JBPritzker and @CMitchellforLG have demonstrated a firm commitment to public safety and fighting gun crime in Illinois.

I look forward to continuing to work with them and I’m proud to endorse them in this critical election.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

I’m proud to endorse @JulianaStratton for US Senate!

From the state house to statewide office, Lt. Gov. Stratton has proven she will never back down from a fight. I know that in Washington, she will continue to hold the line against the gun lobby’s dangerous agenda and stand up for Illinois families.

[GIFFORDS @GIFFORDS_org]

Rep. Ciscomani was the deciding vote to pass Trump’s cuts to Medicaid—the single largest insurer of gunshot patients. He is unfit to serve the people of Arizona.

JoAnna Mendoza is running to unseat him and restore the services millions depend on. https://t.co/nGKrRWlt0x
