John, My friend Lucy McBath is a mother, fighter, and Congresswoman. Like me, her family knows the pain of gun violence firsthand — and our shared fight to pass gun safety laws in Washington is a deeply personal one. After losing her son Jordan to gun violence, Lucy became an outspoken advocate for gun safety and has turned her family’s pain into a singular purpose — sparing other families from experiencing that same loss. Lucy initially decided to run for Congress after the inadequate response by Congress to the Parkland Shooting, and since winning her election, Lucy has led the way to the passage of historic gun safety legislation in the House of Representatives. That’s why the NRA and Republicans will stop at nothing to beat Lucy this year — they know the power of her story and how effective she is in Congress, and they want her gone.

Lucy and I have both had our lives shaken to the core by America’s gun violence epidemic. We both believe it’s unacceptable for the gun lobby to ignore the more than 120 gun deaths every single day in this country. Lucy is a voice in Congress for every single one of those victims. She is a voice for their loved ones — for every parent who has lost a child to this epidemic. The NRA and Republicans know that Lucy’s May election is their best shot this decade to eliminate her from Congress. They’re going to throw the “kitchen sink” at Lucy to defeat her, but we won’t let them, will we, John? Thank you for joining us in the fight for gun safety in America, John. Lives are on the line every day, and American families are counting on us. All my best,
