Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez was born into a gun-owning family, and she admires her father for instilling gun safety practices and knowledge in her and her siblings.
Bringing this background to Congress, she knows there is a reasonable balance between responsible gun ownership and ending the gun violence epidemic in America.
Rep. Fernandez said:
Gun violence robs our communities of beautiful lives every day. Inaction has already taken too many of our loved ones. We must pass this life-saving legislation to keep New Mexico families safe.
Rep. Fernandez supports background checks on all gun sales, a ban on assault weapons, and strengthening extreme risk protection laws. She wants to ensure that New Mexico communities can prevent gun violence before it happens.
The Brady Campaign is proud to endorse Rep. Leger Fernandez for reelection to represent New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
