GUNSENSE VERMONT ANNOUNCES 2022 ENDORSEMENTS
Montpelier, VT – With gun violence on the rise both nationally and in state, GunSense Vermont is re-engaging in the electoral process for the first time since 2018. After an extensive process that included candidate questionnaires, interviews and a thorough review of voting records, the organization’s C4 is recommending a full slate of candidates across the state.
Every year, 80 of our friends, family members and neighbors lose their lives from gun violence in Vermont. In the 2023 legislative session, GunSense will be advocating for a comprehensive safety package that includes a ban on assault weapons, safe storage, waiting periods, the closure of the “Charleston Loophole,” in addition to other lifesaving measures.
“You’re either at the table or on the menu,” said political action chair Shirley Plucinski. “We believe the work we do on the campaign trail has a direct impact on our success under the golden dome.”
