I just need a minute of your time.
Every day in America, 110 people lose their lives to gun violence and more than 200 are shot and wounded.1
But the far-right continues to allow the NRA and pro-gun lobbyists to stand in the way of common-sense gun reform that will save lives.
As one of just three Democratic physicians serving in Congress, I know that in order to fight back against the gun lobby, we must call gun violence what it is: a public health crisis.
I’m determined to fight for common-sense gun reform that will save lives and make our communities safer. But votes are still being tallied from last week's primary and far-right Republicans are seeking to unseat me and ruin our progress.
I need Democrats like you with me today. Please, chip in $5 now to defend my seat in Congress so I can keep fighting alongside Democrats to pass laws that will save lives:
From Buffalo, NY to Laguna Woods, CA to Uvalde, TX, communities across our nation are torn apart by the trauma of gun violence on a daily basis.
Even more devastatingly, we have every resource necessary to combat this public health emergency. But the NRA’s hold on Congress continues to hinder progress toward common-sense gun reform -- and every day we delay, more lives are lost.
But I am a firm believer that it doesn’t have to be this way.
Democrats are working harder than ever to pass laws that address gun violence as the true public health crisis it is.
We CAN make our communities safer and save lives – but only if we prevent NRA-backed Republicans from becoming the majority.
Please: Chip in $5 or any other amount today to defend my seat in Congress and protect our Democratic majority so we can keep fighting to pass gun safety laws >>
Thank you for investing in this fight,
-- Dr. Raul Ruiz for Congress
