John,

Last month, I was joined on stage at the DNC by gun violence survivors who had lost loved ones in school shootings. Together, we shared our stories of loss from gun violence.

Then on September 4th, tragedy struck again. A 14-year-old with a high-powered firearm killed 4 students and educators at Apalachee High School in Winder, GA – right outside my district.

In the aftermath of this crisis, we saw the same reaction from Republicans as usual: “thoughts and prayers” were offered, but no concrete action to stop the violence.

In fact, the GOP’s vice-presidential nominee JD Vance says school shootings are just “a fact of life” that we have to deal with. As long as Republicans continue to cash checks from the NRA and do all in their power to block our efforts at common sense gun reform, we’ll continue to see mass shootings.

It’s unacceptable, and I refuse to stand by idly.

We must vote out Republicans in November so we can make progress on this critical issue. Please support me in my efforts to lead the movement in Congress to end gun violence by chipping into my re-election campaign – I’m more committed than ever to building Democratic political power in Georgia and beyond.

It’s time to change the status quo by enacting the same reforms that are proven to work.

In solidarity,

Lucy McBath
