John,

I am frustrated and heartbroken over the gun violence in our country.

Sadly, and outrageously, mass shootings are becoming a way of life in America. As a parent and as a citizen, I believe that we MUST do more to foster gun safety.

For too long, Republicans in Congress have failed to act. Addressing gun violence will always be a priority for me, but it’s critical that I hear from you on this issue too:

Do you agree that we need to close loopholes that allow criminals to get their hands on guns and make background checks universal for people trying to purchase a gun?

Whether you’re in Texas, Colorado, Tennessee or New Hampshire, this is one of the most pressing issues we face. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

With every good wish,

Maggie Hassan
