It was an honor to speak at last night’s @iowademocrats.bsky.social’s Liberty & Justice celebration.
We’re at a crossroads. America needs all of us to speak out. It’s all at stake: safer communities, the health care families depend on, and our democracy. Iowa is energized and ready to get to work.

My friend @pelosi.house.gov has served our country with grit, courage, and integrity.
She stood with me after I was shot and she stood up for our country when the stakes were highest. Her leadership has been unmatched, and America is stronger because of her.

Gun safety wins elections. Last night’s overwhelming victories proved exactly that.
We’re proud to have supported so many fierce gun safety champions on the campaign trail who won important races last night. With their leadership, we know a safer future is possible.

What a huge victory for public safety in Virginia 👏👏👏
Congratulations to every gun safety champion who held and flipped important seats to regain this gun safety majority. Now it’s time to get to work and pass the laws we know save lives and fight crime.

Virginians have once again established a gun safety stronghold across the commonwealth! With the wins in the House of Delegates and the election of gun safety champion Governor-elect Spanberger, a safer future is finally within reach.

Red flag laws save lives. We’re glad to see this ballot measure pass tonight, two years after a shooter killed 18 people & injured 13 others in Lewiston.
Now, Mainers will have another tool to keep their loved ones who are a danger to themselves or others from accessing a gun in a time of crisis.

Congrats Governor-elect @abigailspanberger.com on your decisive win! Virginians made it clear that they are sick & tired of gun safety bills being blocked by Governor Youngkin. They demanded change at the ballot box, & now will finally have a governor who puts public safety ahead of partisanship.

Seven years later and my heart continues to ache for the 11 people killed and 6 others injured at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue. They were shot as they prayed for no other reason than because they were Jewish.
May their memories forever be a blessing.

Today, I joined Gov. Tim Walz and hundreds of Minnesotans in Waconia for a town hall on preventing gun violence. After the shootings this summer, the governor and state legislative leaders proposed important reform to save lives. We must pass that package, now.

Today, I’m thinking of Lewiston, Maine, where two years ago, a night of bowling, corn hole, and catching up with neighbors turned deadly because a dangerous person had a gun. Eighteen people were killed, 13 others were wounded, and an entire community was irrevocably changed.
Two years ago today, 18 people were killed in a shooting rampage at a local bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston, Maine. Thirteen others were injured in the attacks.
Today and always, our hearts are with the victims, survivors, their families, and the entire Lewiston community.

I remember what it meant to finally leave the hospital—the relief mixed with uncertainty about what comes next. I’m so grateful Sophia has reached this milestone and I’m praying for her and her family as they continue their recovery journey.
Sending so much love your way, Sophia ♥️

My heart aches for the 60 people killed eight years ago today at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas—and the hundreds more who were injured. No family should ever carry this pain.
Eight years ago today, a shooter killed 60 people and injured 800 more at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas.
Armed with 13 rifles equipped with bump stocks, the shooter was able to fire more than 1,000 rounds in 11 minutes, devastating the nation and shattering hundreds of families.

I know what it means to be shot in the head, to have doctors say survival is unlikely, and to fight for every step of recovery. Hearing that 12-year-old Sophia is healing is a miracle. I’m praying for her recovery and for the strength of her family 💜
