Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is a leading voice in the fight for gun violence prevention.
As a father of two boys, Rep. Jeffries understands the fear that comes with gun violence being the number one killer of children in America, and he has fought tirelessly to protect all children and families from that pain.
Rep. Jeffries said:
America is in the midst of a shocking gun violence epidemic that should shock the conscience of everyone and has devastated children, families and communities. We must address it with the fierce urgency of now.
Rep. Jeffries knows that we have to pass critical, life-saving gun violence prevention legislation on a federal level to protect all communities. He supports strengthening and expanding Brady Background Checks, a national ban on assault weapons, secure storage laws, and more.
The Brady Campaign is proud to endorse Rep. Hakeem Jeffries for reelection to represent New York’s 8th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
