In 2019, we flipped the Virginia Legislature to a Gun Sense Majority. The election of Gun Sense Candidates in Virginia led to the historic signing of gun safety legislation right in the NRA's backyard. In 2020, we launched our most robust electoral engagement program ever, led by grassroots-powered actions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Together, we helped to elect gun sense champions President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to the White House. Only two months later, we defeated the NRA again and flipped the U.S. Senate to a Gun Sense Majority. Now with the gun sense trifecta of the White House, U.S. House and U.S. Senate, there is a path for major progress to be made and we are determined to be there every step of the way.
Every day, more than 110 people in the United States are killed with guns. We are dedicated to creating a future free from gun violence—and that starts with electing candidates who will implement better gun laws. This website is your one-stop-shop for information on candidates who care about gun safety, the tools you need to be an educated voter, and resources to start taking action in your community.
Gun Sense Voter is a campaign of Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund, with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, the volunteer grassroots network of Everytown for Gun Safety. We’re a non-partisan grassroots movement of people organizing to elect candidates at every level of government who support common-sense gun safety laws.
The Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction lets voters know which candidates will stand up for gun safety if elected into office. Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers across the country have been distributing questionnaires to candidates to ensure that those with the Gun Sense Candidate distinction will advocate for safer communities. These candidates have proven that they will support stronger gun laws.
