Brady is proud to endorse Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman for re-election.
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman shared:
"The Brady Campaign has worked tirelessly for the last 45 years to help rid our streets and our schools from the scourge of gun violence. Since arriving in Congress, I have introduced several pieces of legislation designed to accomplish just that including the Handgun Licensing and Registration Act, the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act and the HEAR Act to regulate silencers and mufflers. I'm honored to have received the endorsement of the Brady Campaign and look forward to our continued work to make America a safer place."
Rep. Watson Coleman has worked throughout her entire time in Congress to enact common-sense gun violence prevention legislation. Already a trailblazer, Rep. Watson Coleman made history as the first African-American woman to represent New Jersey in Congress and has taken important votes to move gun violence prevention policies forward.
