Rep. Jim McGovern has long been a champion of gun violence prevention in Congress.
As a critical member of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, Rep. McGovern personifies the leadership necessary to address gun violence. He has been a strong supporter of a national ban on assault weapons, banning ghost guns, passing universal background checks, and more.
Rep. McGovern said:
Each life taken from us due to gun violence is more than another name on a list — it’s someone’s mom or dad, someone’s son or daughter. We cannot go on like this. As a country, thoughts and prayers are no longer enough — we need legislation and change.
Rep. McGovern knows that the gun industry has for too long put profits over the lives of Americans. He is ready to fight against the gun lobby and ensure that the majority of Americans who want gun violence prevention laws are represented in Congress.
The Brady Campaign is proud to endorse Rep. Jim McGovern for reelection to represent Massachusetts’ 2nd Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.
