Since serving as the U.S. Representative for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, Abigail Spanberger has shown a deep commitment to protecting Virginia’s communities from gun violence.
She understands that a complex issue like the gun violence epidemic requires comprehensive solutions.
While serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Spanberger supported legislation to:
- Require universal Brady Background Checks
- Ban assault weapons and large-capacity magazines
- Mandate secure gun storage
We need gun violence prevention champions like Rep. Spanberger now. This year, the current Virginia administration, led by Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, vetoed more than 20 common-sense gun violence prevention bills that would have banned ghost guns, promoted secure storage, held the gun industry accountable, and more.
In contrast, Rep Spanberger said:
I will sign legislation into law to make progress on these issues to keep Virginia families safe. I will not veto common-sense proposals like our current governor has done.
The Brady Campaign is proud to endorse Rep. Spanberger for governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
