Rep. Lucy McBath became an advocate to prevent gun violence after her only son, Jordan Davis, was murdered in what became known as the “Loud Music Shooting” in 2012.
Following Jordan’s death, Rep. McBath ran for office in Georgia, and after the shooting in Parkland, FL, went on to run for Congress. She ran — and won — on the issue of gun reform in the historically conservative Georgia district once represented by Newt Gingrich. Since she has been elected to Congress, she has been a relentless gun violence prevention champion.
Rep. McBath said:
I came to Congress as a mom on a mission to prevent gun violence and save lives.
Rep. Lucy McBath has demonstrated a deep commitment to protecting Georgia communities from gun violence. In the 119th Congress, she led the reintroduction of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025, convened advocates and lawmakers for a gun violence awareness month panel at the historic New Hope AME Church in Atlanta, called on Speaker Mike Johnson to address gun violence in the wake of tragedies, and so much more.
We need leaders like Rep. McBath now more than ever in Washington. The Brady Campaign is proud to endorse her for re-election to represent Georgia’s 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
