Every Gun Sense Candidate has committed to governing with gun safety in
mind, from town councils to the halls of Congress. And our movement is
seeing more people step up than ever before to lead this critical
work—including over 250 volunteers who joined our Demand A Seat program to
ensure they're equipped to run for office and win.
Here's what a few incredible members of our movement had to say about why
they are running for office:
"I realized that if broken gun laws like 'Stand Your Ground' were to be
stopped—laws that led to the deaths of many loved ones like my son—I
would have to run for office myself. In 2018, I ran for Congress in
Georgia against an NRA-backed opponent in a Republican seat and won on a
gun safety platform."
Congresswoman Lucy McBath
Former Moms Demand Action volunteer
"I worked in politics before getting involved in Moms Demand Action.
Politics is the world that I know, so I saw firsthand that there was a
necessity of gun sense legislators needed to truly curb the increase of
gun violence."
Joshua Harris-Till
Congressional candidate and former Moms Demand Action volunteer
"I decided to run for elected office because we need representatives who
will put ordinary people at the forefront of their policies. There are
people in public office all over this country who are far more concerned
with keeping their power and padding their pockets than helping the
people they're elected to serve. That’s why we have an epidemic of gun
violence."
Danielle Hawk
Congressional candidate and former Moms Demand Action volunteer
These leaders are far from alone: 224 Moms Demand Action and Students
Demand Action volunteers are running for office in 39 states. They join
thousands of Gun Sense Candidates just like them running for office across
the country.
This November, we have the chance to take a huge step toward a future free
from gun violence.
Together, we can win.
