This week, President Biden announced the creation of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. This is historic progress in the fight against gun violence and the effort to keep our families and our children safe.

On Friday, I was honored to join White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for a press briefing to speak on this new office, which is the first-of-its-kind. You can watch the full press briefing by clicking here or on the image below.
