Gun Violence Prevention

Each year, gun violence plagues each of our communities. Schools, homes, grocery stores, malls and other commonly visited places have been under threat for decades. The data and statistics are alarming and the impact on the ground is devastating. As an advocate for gun safety and the strengthening of gun laws,  I will continue to advocate for common sense gun legislation to make our communities safer.
