Sen. Ghazala Hashmi has been a dedicated public servant, protecting Virginia communities for years.
Now, she is ready to bring that same fight as lieutenant governor and continue to fight to end gun violence in Virginia.
While serving as state senator, she supported legislation to:
- Require universal Brady Background Checks
- Improve and invest in implementation of extreme risk laws, which temporarily remove firearms from a person in crisis
- Ban assault weapons and large-capacity magazines
Sen. Hashmi said:
Tragically, mass shootings continue to increase, and gun violence is now the number one killer of our children, more than accidents or illness. I am committed to doing everything I can to stop the proliferation of guns and reduce the violence and deaths. I strongly support universal background checks, safe storage laws, strengthened red flag laws, and a ban on assault weapons which are weapons of war.
The Brady Campaign is proud to endorse Sen. Hashmi for lieutenant governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
