At every level of the ballot, gun safety is a winning issue. In the past few election cycles, we’ve seen it flip school boards, statehouses, and even the White House, as voters demand candidates who will keep us safe. The number of candidates running with the Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate Distinction surged to a record 5,000 awarded during the 2022 election cycle, with candidates on the side of gun safety running in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. As we build on these victories, we continue to lead major electoral engagement programs and grassroots-powered actions across the country, with the American people right behind us.
Every day, more than 120 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 will govern with gun safety in mind, 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.
