Giffords, the gun violence prevention organization founded by former Arizona Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, endorsed Brian Fitzpatrick (R-1st dist.) in his bid for re-election.
The organization is also backing Rep. Chris Smith, a New Jersey Republican.
Gabrielle Giffords said, “Brian Fitzpatrick and Chris Smith have shown the courage and bipartisan commitment to stand up for gun safety and oppose the NRA’s agenda. When an overwhelming majority of Americans demanded universal background checks, they answered the call to protect our communities from the epidemic of gun violence. At a time when Washington seems more divided than ever, these champions proved it’s still possible to pass real, bipartisan reform to build a stronger, safer America. Giffords is proud to support these leaders in their fight for meaningful change.”
