As an educator, I saw the fear and trauma that gun violence inflicts on our children. During my time as School Board Chair, we strengthened our gun safety protocols in Gwinnett and created task forces at each school for safe schools implementation. 

In Congress, I would oppose the sweeping overreach of the NRA and an fight for common sense gun reform. We must treat gun violence as the public health crisis it is and invest in prevention, especially community-based approaches that actually save lives.

• Mandate universal background checks for all gun sales, including private sales and gun shows.

• Strengthen red-flag laws to keep weapons out of the hands of those who are a clear danger to themselves or others. 

• Maintain gun-free zones in public spaces such as schools, hospitals, public lands, and government buildings.

• Ban High-Capacity Weapons: Prohibit assault weapons and devices that convert firearms into machine guns.

• Safety & Licensing: Require a 10-day waiting period, mandatory safety training, and safe storage.
