Hi There, my name is Gabby Giffords. I'm a former congresswoman, and 11 years ago, my life was changed forever when I survived a mass shooting at a constituent event in my hometown.

I decided to turn my pain into purpose by becoming a national gun safety advocate, and I've never looked back. But today, I'm not writing to talk about myself. I'm here to tell you about my friend Governor Kathy Hochul. 

We need strong leaders who will fight for safety in their communities and support common-sense gun laws. That’s why I’m supporting Kathy for Governor of New York. Today, I’m personally asking you to make a donation of $10 to her campaign so we can continue to fight for a safer New York >>

Kathy knows the heartbreak gun violence causes in her state, and she will never stop working to end it. In the wake of a white supremacist shooting in her hometown of Buffalo, Governor Hochul worked with the legislature to pass some of the strongest new gun violence prevention laws in the country. 

She is working to protect New Yorkers from mass shootings and daily gun violence, including taking critical steps like raising the age to buy semi-automatic rifles, closing dangerous loopholes, and strengthening Red Flaw laws. 

Kathy Hochul is a tough and tested leader who works tirelessly to put New Yorkers first. She will continue the fight for gun safety and protect her state from gun violence.

I am extremely proud to back Governor Hochul, who has been courageous in the fight against gun violence. But she needs to win this incredibly consequential election first — can you join me in supporting her campaign today?
