WASHINGTON — Today, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund announced a new round of volunteer endorsements for the 2025 Virginia elections. These endorsements are a testament to the growing power of Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers as candidates for office themselves. In April, Everytown endorsed former Moms Demand Action volunteer Abigail Spanberger for Governor of Virginia.
“Moms Demand Action volunteers in Virginia have already proven they will do whatever it takes to keep their communities safe, so it’s no surprise more and more of them are making the leap from influencing laws to writing them,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. “Everytown is proud to endorse these Virginia volunteers, whose leadership in the gun violence prevention movement will help them hit the ground running after they’re elected.”
