GIFFORDS PAC Endorses Chris Pappas for U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON — Today, GIFFORDS PAC, the national gun safety organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, endorsed Representative Chris Pappas for U.S. Senate. Now in his fourth term serving the people of New Hampshire’s 1st congressional district, Representative Pappas has consistently championed the need for commonsense gun safety reforms in office and will continue to be an advocate for public safety in the US Senate.

“Throughout his public service, Representative Chris Pappas has proven to be a steadfast leader dedicated to saving lives from gun violence and crime that New Hampshire deserves in the Senate. His support for popular, lifesaving measures, including universal background checks, demonstrates his ability to put New Hampshire lives over gun lobby dollars,” said former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. “We’re looking forward to working with Team Pappas to win this seat.”

“I’m honored to have the support of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords as she continues the critical work of keeping our communities safe from gun violence,” said Representative Chris Pappas. “I’m proud to have worked on commonsense gun safety measures, and I will continue to partner with anyone to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and bad actors while respecting the rights of responsible gun owners. We can stop senseless acts of gun violence and keep communities safe.”

A New Hampshire native, Representative Chris Pappas has served his state in Congress since 2019 and spent over a decade as a public servant at the local level. While in office, Representative Pappas has supported countless commonsense, lifesaving gun safety measures, including legislation to implement critically important red flag laws, keep firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers and adequately fund research into the root causes of gun violence. He also cast a key vote on the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most significant piece of gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years.
