Prevent Gun Violence.
I come from a family of responsible gun collectors and hunters. Responsible gun owners know that supporting the Second Amendment goes hand-in-hand with common-sense solutions to reduce gun violence.
As a mom with children attending public school, I live in real fear. Every time I drop my children off, I dread THAT phone call telling me there has been an active shooter and that my child has been injured or worse. This fear is reinforced by our schools having "active shooter" pull alarms (which look just like fire alarms) and our schools conducting "active shooter" drills just like they do for tornadoes.
Tornadoes are up to Mother Nature, but preventing school shootings is up to us.
Reducing and preventing gun violence is a public safety issue, not a political one. Over 35,000 Americans are killed every year by gun violence, and thousands more are injured.
As the only candidate in our district with children in our schools, I'm tired of living in fear of that phone call. I'm tired of worrying about my children, their friends, and their teachers getting shot. I refuse to stand by and watch as our society claims we can't do anything to prevent this - we can. And it starts with electing officials who will promote common-sense gun reforms with which responsible gun owners agree.
Every parent, grandparent, and guardian deserves to feel that their children are safe when they go to school. We must stop the fear. We must stop the violence. We must have common sense gun reform, and that's why I'm proud to be a "Moms Demand Action" Gun Sense candidate.
My background is in public health and advocacy. I've always worked to protect our children's future, and this issue is no different. I will always champion and support policies that protect our children.
