Hi, John, it’s Michelle, Chrissy’s chief political advisor. I know you’re busy, so I’ll be quick:

When it comes to the epidemic of gun violence we’re facing as a nation, we need practical, bipartisan solutions to keep our communities safe.

For years, Chrissy has been reaching across the aisle to pass commonsense gun safety legislation like the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which invested in mental health resources and strengthened existing gun ownership restrictions.

But as Chrissy always says: There’s work to be done. So, as she plans her strategy for the rest of the session, she needs to know where your gun safety priorities are.

That’s why I’m personally asking, John: Will you take a moment to share your thoughts about gun safety with Chrissy and her team? Our survey closes at midnight, and your input is vital to this work.

Michelle Dorothy

Subject: Gun violence is a bipartisan issue

John, as a third-generation veteran, former teacher, mother and proud Pennsylvanian, I know the topic of gun violence brings up a multitude of deeply personal feelings for many people.

Just over halfway through the year, we’ve already seen more than 420 mass shootings in the United States. Like me, I’m sure you’ve felt outraged, heartbroken, or hopeless at the cost of this senseless crisis – and that’s why I’ve been so keen to continue fighting for a solution.

I’ve been an outspoken champion of bipartisan legislation like the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first gun violence legislation passed in the House and Senate in nearly 30 years.

With so many lives at risk, bipartisan compromise is the most effective way to keep our homes, schools, and neighborhoods safe.

Since the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act went into effect one year ago, we’ve seen significant investments in mental health resources and school safety that have worked to address gun violence at its source. It also strengthened restrictions on those under 21 and those convicted of domestic violence when attempting to purchase a firearm.

I’m honored to be in a position to make a difference – but frustrated by the magnitude of violence still left unaddressed. More than ever, we need commonsense, bipartisan gun safety legislation and increased coordination between federal, state, and local governments.

Together, we have the power to end this crisis. That’s why I’d like to hear from you today, John. Before our live poll closes at midnight, please tell me:

Do you support commonsense gun safety legislation?

Thank you. There’s still work to be done.
