Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund Expands Federal and Statewide Endorsements

NEW YORK — Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund (“Everytown”) expanded its endorsements today of candidates running for the U.S Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and statewide office in the 2022 election cycle. This follows a round of federal endorsements made last month, as well as endorsements for non-federal statewide offices across the country. A full list of newly endorsed candidates across 15 states is below. 

“Poll after poll shows that voters are looking for candidates who will champion common-sense laws to keep guns out of dangerous hands,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund. “Ending our gun violence epidemic requires passing strong gun laws, and that requires electing strong gun safety champions like the candidates we’re endorsing today.”

“The gun sense majorities in Congress and statehouses across the country have delivered life-saving progress on gun safety – and now is the time to keep going by re-electing our champions and growing these majorities,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action. “These gun sense champions can count on a grassroots army of Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers to put everything on the line to get them elected in November.” 

Everytown has also endorsed 163 Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers running for office up and down the ticket, representing the growing power of the grassroots gun safety movement.
