Said, "As a mom, I know that when our children leave for school in the morning, we shouldn’t have to worry about whether or not they will return home safe at night. But we do.

I will work to enact and enforce safeguards ensuring that every gun owner is properly trained, subject to background checks and has no history of violence. You can always count on me to put the safety of our children and our citizens first."
