The rise of candidates centering gun violence is a result of the growing prevention movement across the US, which has become something of 👉a pipeline for new candidates running for office.
#Maxwell #Frost, the nation’s first gen Z US representative, started off as a volunteer before becoming organizing director for
"March for Our Lives",
the gun-safety group founded by survivors of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in #Parkland, Florida.Georgia representative #Lucy #McBath, whose son Jordan Davis was shot and killed in 2012,
and Virginia governor-elect #Abigail #Spanberger were both volunteers with the gun-safety group
"Moms Demand Action" before they ran for office.And #Cameron #Kasky, a survivor of the Parkland shooting who helped to organize the March for Our Lives student protests, recently announced his campaign to represent Manhattan, New York, in Congress.
“I see myself as a small part of a bigger movement. It’s the reason I got into politics,” Frost said.
“I was 15 when #Sandy #Hook happened and that’s what pushed me to get involved in organizing and it’s remained a big piece of my organizing.”
Today, calling out gun-rights lobbyists and groups like the National Rifle Association ( #NRA ) is common among Democrats vying for political office.
But less than 15 years ago, many moderate Democrats held A ratings from the NRA and the subject of regulating guns was a third rail that could spell an end to political aspirations,
said #Shannon #Watts, a violence-prevention activist and founder of Moms Demand Action.“It was gradual and not linear,”
she said of the change that’s happened.
“We saw that our volunteers were running for office and thought it was common sense that someone who was learning how to shape legislation would want to take the next step to make the legislation as an elected official.”Watts marks the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school, in which a gunman
killed 20 children and six adults,
and the subsequent failure of Congress to pass gun-safety policies, as a watershed moment that pushed formerly gun-friendly Democrats like former West Virginia senator #JoeManchin, Minnesota governor #Tim #Walz and former Arizona representative #Ann #Kirkpatrick to risk their A rating from the NRA to call for restrictions on gun-#magazine #capacities and #assault #weapons.
⭐️Now, having an F rating from the group is a point of pride.“After Parkland, zero Democratic members of Congress had an A rating and were proud about it.
That’s a seismic shift,”
Watts added.
“I think it’s proof positive that playing the long game works.
Lucy [McBath] ran for a seat held by Republicans and she ran on the issue of gun safety.
It shattered a lot of misperceptions and fears about being gun safety-forward.The issue of gun violence has also activated newcomers to politics.
#Shaundelle #Brooks’s son, Akilah Dasilva, was one of four people killed in a mass shooting at a #Nashville Waffle House in 2018.Five years later, in 2023, another son, who survived the Waffle House shooting, was shot and injured while leaving a Nashville music venue.
After her son’s death, Brooks said she regularly would go to the statehouse to advocate for gun laws that she feels could have prevented the death of her son and so many others.
After years of her pleas falling on unreceptive ears, she decided to run for office.
“There was a time where people were scared to even mention it while they were running.
And I remember not voting for certain people because of that.
So I am grateful that people are standing up, speaking out and being brave about it,” Brooks said.
“Coming up here for seven years and having them just ignoring me,
testifying and then being told that if my son had a gun that would have saved his life,
showed me that I needed to do more than what I was doing.”The personal experiences of loss unite people like Brooks and Pearson with the scores of Americans who are part of what gun-violence victims and survivors describe as a club that no one wants to be a part of.
“When people see you’re personally impacted,
they feel that you’re more credible to talk about this kind of stuff.They know it’s not a political thing for us,” she said

Well #Cuomo is done politically. He is the past. The big question is what is a winning strategy going forward.
There is no single strategy, but #Bernie, #AOC, and now #Mandani have shown an alternative path.
Would that have worked for #Spanberger in #VA? I’ll leave others to opine, but her politics are more #centrist and maybe that is a better fit in the Commonwealth

“I won my election by 15 points, & we won 13 new seats in our state legislature because voters decided they wanted something different,” #Spanberger said, adding, “Those who are stepping up now to run will win in November because Americans — you at home — know you can demand more, & that we are working to lower costs. We are working to keep our communities & our country safe. And we are working for you.”
-
…Her own election last fall, #Spanberger said in her speech, was a referendum on Trump’s first year in office & demonstrated that voters preferred #Democrats who run as a moderate counterweight to the president. This year’s #midterms, she predicted, would continue that trend.

The job #Spanberger took on Tuesday night can be thankless∶ Fumbling the opposition party’s response to the #SOTU speech is a bipartisan tradition dating back decades. But she completed the task without committing a memorable or meme-able error.

“Every minute spent sowing #fear is a minute not spent investigating murders, crimes against children or the criminals defrauding seniors of their life savings,” #Spanberger said. “Our president told us tonight that we are safer because these agents arrest mothers & detain children. Think about that.”

Spanberger’s 12-min speech took up just a fraction of the nearly 2 hours #Trump spent addressing the nation. But she hit several main points #Democrats want to hammer home about the president, including a critique of his #immigration policies.
While Trump vividly described violent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants, #Spanberger recalled the scenes Americans have watched on their screens in recent months of federal agents use of of excessive force in #Minneapolis & other #US cities.
-
“He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the #corruption is unprecedented,” #Spanberger said, before ticking through details. “There’s the #CoverUp of the #EpsteinFiles, the #crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes & billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name & face on buildings all over our nation’s capital. This is not what our founders envisioned.”
-
#Spanberger called Trump’s #tariffs a “massive tax hike on you & your family,” & argued that congressional #Republicans were making life more #expensive & “making it more difficult to see a #doctor” while driving up the costs of #energy & #housing.
And she said that while Trump’s policies were hurting “regular Americans,” they were helping himself & his allies.

#Spanberger, 46, is the second #CIA veteran in 2 years chosen to deliver the #Democratic Party’s formal response to Trump. Last year, it was Senator #ElissaSlotkin of #Michigan, a fellow #moderate who also first entered #Congress in 2018 & had also just won a statewide election. While #Slotkin warned last year that #Trump would increase the #CostOfLiving, Spanberger made a broader case that his admin was working against the #WellBeing of the American #people.
-
Spanberger’s speech — & the selection of her to deliver it — signaled how #Democratic leaders want the party to be viewed in Trump’s second term: sober & serious officials who understand voters’ economic plight.
A #moderate who is coming off a landslide election victory in #Virginia, #Spanberger gave a safe speech that struck the political notes #Democrats are aiming to press — that #Trump has hurt the economy & sowed #chaos with his policies.
-
Gov Abigail #Spanberger of Virginia framed the #Democratic Party’s rebuttal to Trump’s #SOTU address around 3 questions: Is he making life more affordable? Is he keeping Americans safe? And is he working on Americans’ behalf?
Spanberger, who took office last month, argued that on all 3 counts, the answer was no.
“Is the president working for you?” she asked before a supportive crowd in Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. “We all know the answer is no.”

Take a look around Virginia right now - things are PEACEFUL and CALM. But, here it looks like the administration is about to bring violence and conflict to our beloved state.
They are raging about Governor Spanberger's win (which they recently said she achieved "by cheating") and the decisive and positive moves she's made in her first days in the seat. And, so, here come the troops.
