I received the news of the massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde,
Texas as I picked up my 6-year-old daughter from school.
Watching children exit school and reuniting with their parents after their
school day was gut wrenching. So many parents in Texas will never pick up
their child from school again.
We can’t keep accepting inaction. Every member of Congress who refuses to
act on common sense gun safety needs to resign right now.
There's no reason the Senate can’t pass gun safety legislation to protect
our children.
That’s why I’m running against Rand Paul, a Senator with a 92% NRA rating
who’s accepted more money from the gun lobby than any other Senate
candidate this year. Rand Paul has made it clear that he will always vote
to please his friends from the gun lobby and make reform untenable.
He’s previously threatened to filibuster legislation banning assault
rifles, the weapon used in recent mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo.
Following Sandy Hook in 2012, Rand Paul went on national television and
spoke in opposition to background checks. This week is no different, as
Paul remains content using words, rather than power granted to him by the
people of Kentucky, to protect our children. His thoughts and prayers are
meaningless.

any longer. Will you help me retire Rand Paul this November by chipping in
today?

I have
directly seen and felt the impact of gun violence. On Easter Sunday in
2016, my younger cousin TJ was shot and killed during an attempted
robbery. And since then, I’ve lost another cousin to gun violence each
year.
Guns are the leading cause of death for children in the U.S., and I’m
determined to dismantle the corrupt foundation that the gun lobby has
entrenched with Congressional Republicans. Now more than ever, legislative
and executive action is necessary to prevent future mass killings, of our
children or otherwise.
I believe we deserve to live in peace. I believe weapons of war should not
be in our classrooms or in our streets. But Rand Paul does not give a damn
about our safety or survival.

don’t have to keep accepting inaction from Senate Republicans like Rand
Paul and Mitch McConnell. Will you chip in $5 right now to
show Rand Paul that this movement is rising up to end his political
career?
Thank you,
Charles
