“JOHN JAMES HAS FAILED US TIME AND TIME AGAIN DURING AMERICA’S GROWING GUN VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC, BUT EMILY BUSCH WILL NOT. EMILY HAS FACED THE UNTHINKABLE, THE MOMENT THAT SHE DIDN’T KNOW IF HER CHILD WAS DEAD OR ALIVE. SHE WILL ACT SWIFTLY TO PROTECT THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN WITH COMMON-SENSE PROPOSALS LIKE UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS.”
Ashley LantzExecutive Director, Brady PAC
“EMILY BUSCH KNOWS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILD WHEN THE UNIMAGINABLE HAPPENS. IN THE WAKE OF THE DEVASTATING SCHOOL SHOOTING IN OXFORD THAT CLAIMED THE LIVES OF FOUR OF HER SON’S CLASSMATES, EMILY HAS DEDICATED HERSELF TO CURBING GUN VIOLENCE IN ALL FORMS. SHE’S LED EFFORTS TO ORGANIZE HER NEIGHBORS IN SUPPORT OF SENSIBLE GUN SAFETY LEGISLATION AND BEEN A COMMITTED PARTNER IN GIFFORDS’ WORK ON THE GROUND IN MICHIGAN. WE DESPERATELY NEED HER VOICE IN CONGRESS, WHERE WE KNOW SHE’LL ALWAYS PUT PUBLIC SAFETY FIRST. WE’RE PROUD TO ENDORSE HER IN THIS MUST-WIN ELECTION.”

“[Emily is] a testament to the changing political calculus on guns and the growing, formidable electoral power of the gun violence prevention movement. We’re proud to endorse these Moms Demand Action volunteers and Everytown leaders who already have built a strong track record of fighting hard to keep their neighbors safe and are now making the leap from advocating for laws to writing them.”

"BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS NOW (BAWN) IS PROUD TO ENDORSE EMILY BUSCH TO REPRESENT MICHIGAN’S 10TH DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. EMILY HAS BEEN A STEADFAST ADVOCATE FOR GUN SAFETY. HER FAMILY TRAGICALLY EXPERIENCED GUN VIOLENCE WHEN HER SON SURVIVED THE OXFORD MASS SHOOTING. IT IS CRUCIAL THAT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS REPRESENT THE EXPERIENCES OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS, AND BECAUSE OF THIS, I KNOW THAT EMILY WILL BE A LEADER IN CONGRESS AND IN THE FIGHT TO END GUN VIOLENCE.”
