When a gunman in Aurora, IL, shot and killed five innocent people and injured five responding police officers, Rep. Bill Foster took legislative action to help prevent another attack.
In Congress, Rep. Bill Foster is a staunch supporter of gun violence prevention initiatives. Rep. Foster was a key supporter in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first federal legislation passed in over 30 years to be signed into law. This legislation helped expand gun licensing while also closing the boyfriend loophole.
Rep. Foster said:
The gun violence epidemic continues to shatter families and communities nationwide. Americans deserve to be able to study, worship, and come together without fear.
Rep. Bill Foster will continue to fight for common-sense gun violence prevention legislation, such as universal background checks, that will save American lives.
The Brady Campaign is proud to endorse Rep. Foster to reelection for Illinois 11th Congressional District.
