Everytown For Gun Safety Endorses Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick for Re-Election

WASHINGTON — Today, Moms Demand Action and Everytown For Gun Safety Action Fund announced that Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick has been awarded the Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction and Everytown’s endorsement for his reelection in Pennsylvania’s 1st District. 

“Gun safety isn’t a right-or-left issue — it’s a life-or-death issue, and few elected officials understand that more than Congressman Fitzpatrick, who has long pushed for bipartisan solutions to gun violence,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. “Everytown is proud to endorse Congressman Fitzpatrick, who has shown true political courage in championing common-sense gun safety legislation.”

“We can’t afford more lives to be cut short because of inaction in Congress, and Representative Fitzpatrick is a proven gun sense champion,” said Monisha Henley, SVP of Government Affairs at Everytown for Gun Safety. “Everytown has worked alongside Representative Fitzpatrick to advocate for bipartisan, lifesaving gun safety laws, and we’re proud to support his re-election.”

Representative Fitzpatrick is the sponsor of the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2023, voted to pass lifesaving legislation to close the Charleston loophole and to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of domestic abusers, and has supported an assault weapons ban. In 2022, he played a key role in passing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first federal gun safety legislation to become law in nearly 30 years.
