Fired Up!
For the next 57 days we are gonna organize & mobilize to protect our freedoms and elect people like @ChrisForPA & @Hbeckhaas!
Thanks to all the folks who came out to knock doors in Moon Twp. this morning. This is how we win!
"I have seen what a difference the majority makes. Through my advocacy work, I know that public education and gun safety are two priorities in my district. They have not been a priority for my opponent. We deserve to be represented by someone who shows up with courage and compassion and who fights for our communities."
This election is about all of us.
What we're willing to fight for, how hard we're willing to work, and what kind of country we want to be.
@GretchenWhitmer and I are ready to work to put @KamalaHarris in the White House. Are you with us?

More than 45,000 people gathered late Sunday on a Zoom call organized by Win With Black Women to support Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign.
The group said it raised over $1,500,000 in about 100 minutes.

As a husband, father, ER Doc, @TheDemocrats convention delegate, Indian-American of the same background as @KamalaHarris, and only State Rep of Indian background in the PA House, I am proud to endorse @VP as our Democratic nominee and next President of the United States.
My name is Kristin Song.
On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.
At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.
I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.
The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.
So I did.
6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.
Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.
In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.
When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.
Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.
I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

In June, the PA House of Representatives did their part by passing two gun violence prevention bills.
@MomsDemand have come to the PA Capitol today to demand that the PA Senate step up & pass these important gun violence bills.
