Andrei Cherney understands the importance of protecting Arizona’s communities from gun violence.
As a former Navy officer, he knows that weapons of war do not belong in our neighborhoods. Cherney has also seen first-hand the devastating effects of gun violence — he grew up in a neighborhood deeply affected by gun violence, and his wife and two children were across the street from a shooting in 2011. Cherney has dedicated his time and efforts to ending gun violence, and in Congress, he pledges to continue this fight. He supports legislation to ban assault weapons, expand Brady Background Checks, and more.
Andrei Cherney said:
I have spent decades working to make progress in the fight for safe gun laws. It's why I'm so honored to be one of only a handful of candidates for Congress in America to be endorsed by the @Brady_PAC.
While serving as the chair of the Arizona Democratic Party, Cherney led the charge against Governor Jan Brewer’s actions to allow guns in bars and in workplaces. He also spent the past ten years building a company to help people divest from gun manufacturers and the NRA.
The Brady Campaign is proud to endorse Andrei Cherney to represent Arizona’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
