Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidates
Who they are, how to support them, and how to become one.
The Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate program is meant to signal to our ten million supporters, volunteers, and gun safety voters across the country that, if elected, a candidate will govern with gun safety in mind. Those awarded the distinction have demonstrated that they will support stronger gun laws and advocate for safer communities if elected into office.
Multiple candidates in a race can receive the distinction, and just like common-sense gun safety, it is non-partisan.
The Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction is not an endorsement from Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund or its volunteer networks, and it should not be represented as such. Instead, it is a signal to our supporters, volunteers, and voters across the country that a candidate, if elected, will govern with gun safety in mind.
Yes. Multiple candidates in a race can receive the distinction and, just like common-sense gun safety, it is non-partisan. There are several races across the country where multiple candidates have received the distinction—and this is a great thing for voters!
The program is open to candidates running for election this calendar year for Municipal, Law Enforcement, State Legislature, Attorney General, State Treasurer, Secretary of State, Lt. Governor, Governor, and federal offices.
You can find past Gun Sense Candidates in our candidate library.
