Hi John,
In many states across the country, voting for the 2021 primary election is already underway. Here in Washington, our PAC, the Alliance for Gun Responsibility Victory Fund, has endorsed 63 candidates so far this year! Two races—Seattle Mayor and Position 9 on Seattle City Council—proved especially difficult because of a diverse and impressive field of strong contenders. To help us (and voters) make the right choice, we hosted two public forums to dive deep on the candidates’ proposals. You can learn more about all those races here: [link removed]
* Extremism in the PNW Summit
The Foundation partnered with the Oregon Alliance for Gun Safety to host a virtual summit to explore far right extremism and militia groups in the Pacific Northwest. Speakers outlined how extremist groups use gun policies and debates to their advantage as well as what can be done to prevent armed intimidation, protect communities, and hold armed extremists accountable.
