Auchincloss Endorsed By Gun Violence Prevention Group 'Brady PAC'

NEWTON, MA — Brady PAC, the sister organization of Brady — one of the nation’s oldest gun violence prevention grassroots advocacy organizations — has endorsed Jake Auchincloss for re-election, citing his “continued support of, and leadership on, gun violence prevention issues.”

"Representative Jake Auchincloss is a tireless fighter for the safety of Fourth District communities,” said Jason Pressberg, Executive Director of Brady PAC, in a statement. “Since being sworn into Congress, Rep. Auchincloss has been an outspoken leader on common-sense gun safety legislation, and a champion for bold steps that will save lives. As a combat Marine officer, he not only understands leadership and sacrifice, but also that weapons of war have no place in our communities. Brady PAC is proud to endorse Jake Auchincloss for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives.”

Brady PAC is “dedicated to a singular goal: creating a safer America by supporting and investing in candidates who are committed to enacting, improving, and defending Gun Violence Prevention (GVP) policies across the country.”

"I slept, ate, trained, and patrolled with an assault weapon for four years as a Marine — weapons of war have no place on our streets,” said Auchincloss in a statement. “I am honored to receive Brady PAC’s endorsement. Together, we can build a future free of gun violence.”

Over the past few months, Auchincloss has received the endorsements of the Progressive Turnout Project, Democratic Majority for Israel PAC, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Massachusetts Senate President Karen Spilka, 18 state lawmakers from across the district, and a slate of elected officials from his home town of Newton including Newton Mayor Ruthanne Fuller, Newton City Council President Susan Albright, and Newton City Council Vice President Rick Lipof.
