Assemblymember Mike Gipson has served his community for years, championing gun violence prevention and going head-to-head with the NRA.
Assemblymember Gipson has led on legislation to regulate ghost guns, authoring the most comprehensive ghost gun law in the country, and called to close the loopholes in gun sales, expand background checks, and ban assault weapons. Assemblymember Gipson is a steering committee member of Legislators for Safer Communities and knows we need comprehensive solutions to end the gun violence epidemic in America.
As a former police officer, Assemblymember Gipson has also been dedicated to reforming the police department and ensuring that everyone in California is protected by those committed to serving them. In the California General Assembly, he introduced AB 1196 to ban the use of chokeholds and carotid restraints statewide by law enforcement.
Assemblymember Gipson said:
My heart breaks every time I hear about anyone losing their lives to senseless gun violence. We know there is more work to be done so that no family has to deal with this pain ever again. I will continue to advocate and implement solutions until our communities can sleep with absolute peace of mind.
The Brady Campaign is proud to endorse Assemblymember Gipson in his campaign to represent the 65th California Assembly District.
