NEW YORK — Today, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund announced a new round of endorsements of candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives for the 2024 election cycle. A full list of endorsed candidates is below and represents members of Congress across 16 states.
“The stakes of this election are truly life or death, with MAGA extremists promising to undo all the progress we’ve made on gun safety,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. “The freedom to be safe from gun violence is on the ballot this November, and we’re proud to endorse gun safety champions who will fight tooth and nail to keep their communities safe.”
“This election is a huge opportunity to continue our lifesaving progress, and the candidates we’ve endorsed today are the leaders we need to do just that,“ said Angela Ferrell-Zabala, executive director of Moms Demand Action. “We know that common-sense gun safety laws are overwhelmingly popular with voters, and the extremists who don’t prioritize those laws have no place in Congress.”
