“We’re very pleased that Arizona has such strong supporters of common-sense gun laws running for office,” said Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign.  “These candidates know how important it is to keep illegal guns off the streets, and they’re committed to fighting the good fight to keep our families and our communities safe.”

The Brady Campaign is the nation's largest citizen's lobby to prevent gun violence. We represent the voice of the overwhelming majority of Americans who are tired of living with the constant tragedy of gun violence and are in favor of strong laws and policies that will save lives. We are the light that exposes politicians who are putting the American people at risk, so the American people can hold them accountable for decisions and actions that undermine public safety.

We are driven by the focused vision of a nation where all Americans are safe at home, at work, at school, and in our communities.
