John —

Last month, we pulled off a huge victory for gun safety in Virginia — we
flipped the Virginia General Assembly by electing a Gun Sense Majority in
the House of Delegates and State Senate. Everytown and Moms Demand Action
were a huge part of our victory.

I am the first Muslim elected to the Virginia State Senate. I'm so proud
that voters are giving me the opportunity to serve them and give a more
powerful voice for marginalized communities across Virginia. And Moms
Demand Action volunteers were with our campaign every step of the way.
Together, we made phone calls, knocked on doors, and texted voters in my
district right up to polls closing. The tireless activism of Moms Demand
Action volunteers fuels the kind of landmark election results we had in
November.

Our victories across Virginia in 2019 were huge wins for gun safety and
for everyone in the Commonwealth. In 2020, we will work to pass stronger
gun laws and reduce gun violence in communities across Virginia. Everytown
and Moms Demand are a critical part of that work. [ [link removed] ]Donate to Everytown

In our most competitive districts in Virginia, polling found that gun
safety was the top issue bringing voters to the polls. We know this is an
issue important to so many Americans, and we keep seeing it's a winning
issue at the ballot box. In 2018, we elected a Gun Sense Majority to the
U.S. House of Representatives, and this year Virginia elected a General
Assembly controlled by lawmakers that want to pass stronger gun laws. The
change in Virginia made it clear to gun lobby-backed politicians: if you
refuse to act in the face of tragic gun violence, voters will replace you.

I'm looking forward to passing gun safety laws in Virginia, and seeing all
the amazing work Everytown and Moms Demand Action will do across the
country next year. [ [link removed] ]Support the movement to end gun violence in America

Thank you for fighting to end gun violence,

Senator-Elect
