.Kamala Harris is tough. She has grit. Kamala has stood up to Wall Street and drug companies. I know she can beat the gun lobby, protect abortion access, and defend our freedom.

For five years, I served in Congress from a swing district. Then, on January 8, 2011, a man tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six. I almost died. But I fought for my life and survived. Today, I was proud to speak in support of Kamala Harris.

I was born in the great state of Arizona, where I grew up racing motorcycles and exploring the beautiful desert. Then, I fell for an astronaut. I’m so grateful to have the love of my life by my side every day, Captain Mark Kelly.

Ten-year-old Lexi Rubio was shot and killed at her school in Uvalde, Texas. Her mother, @KimRubio21, shared her story at the #DemConvention. Lexi should still be here, and Kamala Harris has proven that she won’t stop fighting until our children are safe from gun violence.

.Kamala Harris has the grit and experience to beat the gun lobby and protect our freedoms. This election is about the future vs. the past. Last night, the nation saw again that Kamala is ready to lead on day one.

Over the last 11 years, my speech therapist has been with me every step of the way. Encouraging me. Pushing me. Helping me learn to talk again. Thank you Fabi for all of your support, especially this week at the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

Last week was incredible. I’m filled with more energy, inspiration, and hope for our future than ever. It was great to see friends from across the country at the #DemConvention. With 71 days to go, we’re going to give this election everything we’ve got!

On the first day of classes, a Rice University student was shot and killed in her dorm room before the gunman killed himself. Andrea Rodriguez Avila’s dreams were cut short because of easy access to guns. The student paper wrote a bit about her life 💔 ricethresher.org/article/2024/0…

Today would’ve been John McCain’s 88th birthday, and I’m thinking about the impact he had on our state. He was an exceptional leader for Arizona and an even better person to those lucky enough to have known him. It was an honor to call him my friend.

Donald Trump keeps spreading lies. The man responsible for the fall of Roe thinks he should decide when, if, and how we get to start a family. He has no business making those decisions and he certainly has no business being in the White House.

Fourteen-year-old Darean Davis was shot and killed outside the Michigan State Fair on Saturday. Another child was injured. This is horrific. Our kids deserve to go to a state fair without being shot—and we need to do more to keep them safe. cbsnews.com/detroit/news/t…

Police are responding to a shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Our children should be able to go to school without being met with gun violence.

There are reports of casualties after the shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. Weeks into the school year, and yet another community is torn apart by gun violence. Americans are fed up with inaction. We demand change.

This is the outrage and commitment our gun violence crisis demands. Donald Trump told us to get over school shootings. VP Kamala Harris is doing everything in her power to protect our kids from gun violence.

Remember their names. These are the students and teachers killed yesterday in the shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia.

VP Kamala Harris is outraged. I’m outraged. We’re all outraged by yet another senseless act of gun violence. While Donald Trump brags that he did nothing on gun violence as president, Kamala is fighting every day to close the loopholes in our gun laws and protect our children.
