Friend,

I wanted to make sure that you saw the news: I'm honored to be endorsed by Brady -- one of our nation's most important organizations dedicated to reducing gun violence.

Thoughts and tweets don't save lives, but action does. That's why I've been working in Congress every single day to pass common sense solutions to stem gun violence in our country.

Special interests like the NRA are pushing back hard. They don't want to see us making progress in Washington, D.C., and I have no doubt they'll be investing in my opponents in an attempt to stop our progress in its tracks.

Help show that we're demanding action on gun violence by making a contribution to our campaign today. Chip in to show we're demanding action now -- and we won't let special interest groups like the NRA stop us.

One of the first actions I took as a member of Congress was cosponsoring a bill for universal background checks. I've been calling for additional actions, like reinstating the assault weapons ban and keeping guns away from domestic abusers, overdue steps that will save lives.

Fixing this problem will not be easy, but I'm heartened by the countless activists here in Minnesota's 3rd and around the country -- students, parents, teachers, and so many more -- who are raising their voices on this issue every day.

Change will require all of us coming together, regardless of party, to create policies that work to keep every neighborhood, school, and community safe. I won't stop working until we solve this issue. But I can't do it alone.

Join me in celebrating this big endorsement: Chip in to help us win in 2020 and continue demanding courage, action, and real solutions to combat gun violence in America.

Thank you,

Dean
