Rep. Gil Cisneros has been a longtime champion for Gun Violence Prevention.
Rep. Cisneros’ grandfather was shot and killed during a grocery store robbery when his mother was a child. That loss, combined with 11 years as a Navy officer, has shaped his commitment to keeping communities safe. Rep. Cisneros previously represented California’s 39th District in Congress, where he voted in support of CDC funding for gun violence research and was a strong supporter of the Bipartisan Background Checks Act.
Rep. Cisnero said:
I have fought and will continue to fight tooth and nail for bipartisan legislation to ensure we deliver solutions that keep our families and communities safe. We have lived through too many atrocities caused by gun violence, and instead of offering thoughts and prayers, we need action.
Rep. Cisneros is campaigning on comprehensive gun safety measures, notably common-sense reforms such as universal background checks and an assault weapons ban. He refuses donations from gun manufacturers and continues to stand with those pushing for gun violence prevention.
The Brady Campaign is proud to endorse Rep. Cisneros in his campaign to represent California’s 31st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
