ICYMI: Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund Endorses Governor Kathy Hochul

NEW YORK – Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund today endorsed Governor Kathy Hochul for a full term. Everytown leaders applauded Governor Hochul’s nation-leading action to strengthen New York’s gun safety laws and save lives. Governor Hochul previously received the Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate Distinction.

“I am humbled to have the endorsement of Everytown for Gun Safety, a group that has fiercely led the charge in the fight for common-sense gun safety legislation and to save lives,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “I am outraged by the countless incidents of gun violence facing our nation, and proud of the decisive action we’ve taken to protect our communities. Everytown is a force to be reckoned with, and I look forward to partnering with them in the push for stronger gun safety laws nationwide.”

“Governor Hochul, Lieutenant Governor Delgado, and Attorney General James are all gun sense champions who walk the walk, whether that means raising their voice to support strong gun safety bills, raising their pen to sign those bills into law, or raising arguments in court to defend those laws against gun lobby attacks,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. “New Yorkers are safer because of their courageous leadership, and they have Everytown’s full support as they run for another term.”

“Governor Hochul, Lieutenant Governor Delgado, and Attorney General James have continued to take strong, lifesaving action on gun safety to protect our children and communities,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action. “These gun sense champions can count on a grassroots army of Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers behind them from now through November to make sure they’re back in office next year fighting for us.”
