“Gun violence tears communities apart, but we know change is possible when we take real action. I’m proud to stand with San Diegans for Gun Violence Prevention and fight for implementation of safe gun storage laws, tougher oversight of gun dealers, and use of red flag laws to keep firearms out of dangerous hands. We owe it to every family to act now so no one else endures the heartbreak of losing a loved one.”

The SD4GVP Gun Violence Prevention Candidate distinction is intended to identify local candidates who have expressed their willingness to lead with gun safety in mind.

The SD4GVP Gun Violence Prevention Champion distinction is intended to identify Gun Violence Prevention Candidates who have demonstrated exceptionally proactive, consistent and relentless public work to prevent gun violence.

Multiple candidates in a single race can receive a distinction. Distinctions are non-partisan, as is legislation to stop gun violence. These distinctions are different from and should not be interpreted as endorsements. Read about all the qualifying candidates below, and scroll to the bottom to read about our evaluation process.

Our Evaluation Process

In the run-up to an election, SD4GVP invites candidates to fill out a questionnaire or complete an interview. It is an opportunity for them to describe their past and current work in gun violence prevention and related areas, and to outline their intention to work toward preventing gun violence in the future.

SD4GVP considers candidate responses, as well as policy positions outlined on their campaign website, their public statements, and actions they have initiated or supported that forward our mission to reduce gun violence. Sources include interviews with the media, public forums they have participated in going back several years, and social media posts.

Based on all of this information, SD4GVP designates qualifying candidates as either Gun Violence Prevention Candidates or Gun Violence Prevention Champions and lists them on the SD4GVP GVP Candidates Page.
