.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.
.Captain Mark Kelly is right. While Trump divides us from each other and from the rest of the world, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz know that our country is stronger and safer when we’re united.
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…
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.
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.
