Friend,

I was honored to have been invited by the Biden Administration to speak at the Safer States White House Convening to discuss laws I've passed on gun violence prevention. I joined leaders from across the country to share insights and strategies I have used to pass some of the strongest gun safety laws in the country.

When it comes to combating gun violence, California is a national leader, and I am proud to say I have had a hand in this effort. For more than a decade, I have worked to ban the open carry of firearms, raise the gun purchase age to 21, and reform California’s concealed carry permit regulations in partnership with Governor Newsom and Attorney General Bonta. I also authored and passed landmark safe storage legislation that President Biden is using as a model for federal law and was the subject of my comments on the panel.

I am passionate about this issue, and I have the experience needed to do more in Congress to reduce gun violence. We cannot accept routine mass shootings as part of American life. We cannot become numb to the pain and sorrow that have touched every part of our country. We cannot let these horrific crimes continue to happen —- and I’m doing my part to make sure that they don’t.

In this fight I have met many people whose lives have been personally and permanently affected by gun violence. Hearing their stories fuels my passion and inspires me to keep going. Mia Tretta is one of those incredibly brave gun violence survivors.

Mia is a wounded survivor of the 2019 shooting at Saugus High School in Los Angeles County. She is a passionate gun violence prevention advocate and a member of numerous gun safety groups and movements where she advocates for stronger gun laws and even spoke at the White House in 2022 with President Biden. I could not be prouder of Mia and her activism — and I could not be more grateful to have earned her support and trust.

Be well,

Anthony Portantino
