Friends,

Chris was in El Paso visiting the border with his colleagues on Friday, just a day before this community was left devastated by gun violence. After hearing the news, he tweeted about the attacks (see below), but we wanted to let you know what you can do right now.

Families in El Paso and Dayton need us today. If you can help them with a monetary contribution, please consider giving what you can to help at the links below:

El Paso Victims’ Fund: https://payments.epcf.org/victims

Dayton Foundation: https://www.daytonfoundation.org/dayton_oregon_district_tragedy_fund.html

Thank you,

Team Pappas

My heart breaks for the city and the victims of today's horrific mass shooting. The mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso are the latest example of our ongoing, uniquely American tragedy. It does not have to be this way. The House has passed common sense legislation for universal background checks. We must demand Mitch McConnell take this up now.”
