Gabby Giffords

My favorite day of the year ♥️🚴🌵

After I got shot, I never could have imagined getting back on my bike and racing through my beautiful hometown. El Tour de Tucson will always hold a special place in my heart.

32 miles has nothing on us!

We need champions in Congress who will fight for the American people and take meaningful action to save lives. These candidates have the strength and clarity to do that and will help us build a safer future for all.

I’m proud to support them in their critical elections.

My husband @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity.

The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the lives stolen from us in violent acts of hate and bigotry.

At least 27 trans people were killed this year according to @transequality.bsky.social, and many of them died by gun violence. America’s gun violence epidemic is fueling this crisis.

Armed hate should have no place in our country, yet too often it leads to deadly violence. But ultimately, love is stronger than hate, and together we will build a country where no one is killed because of who they are or who they love.

Three years ago today, a night of dancing turned tragic when a gunman opened fire at Club Q in a targeted attack against the LGBTQ+ community.

Five beautiful lives were stolen, more than 20 were injured, and an entire community was forever changed.

Gun violence affects people everywhere.

I was glad to join @iowademocrats.bsky.social and Chair Rita Hart to honor her nephew Tucker and work to build a safer world for all of us.

18 years and forever to go!

Happy anniversary, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social. I love you more each day.

It was an honor to speak at last night’s @iowademocrats.bsky.social’s Liberty & Justice celebration.

We’re at a crossroads. America needs all of us to speak out. It’s all at stake: safer communities, the health care families depend on, and our democracy. Iowa is energized and ready to get to work.

My friend @pelosi.house.gov has served our country with grit, courage, and integrity.

She stood with me after I was shot and she stood up for our country when the stakes were highest. Her leadership has been unmatched, and America is stronger because of her.

Gun safety wins elections. Last night’s overwhelming victories proved exactly that.

We’re proud to have supported so many fierce gun safety champions on the campaign trail who won important races last night. With their leadership, we know a safer future is possible.

What a huge victory for public safety in Virginia 👏👏👏

Congratulations to every gun safety champion who held and flipped important seats to regain this gun safety majority. Now it’s time to get to work and pass the laws we know save lives and fight crime.

Red flag laws save lives. We’re glad to see this ballot measure pass tonight, two years after a shooter killed 18 people & injured 13 others in Lewiston.

Now, Mainers will have another tool to keep their loved ones who are a danger to themselves or others from accessing a gun in a time of crisis.

Thrilled to congratulate @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on her victory as New Jersey’s governor!

From serving her state to standing up for commonsense solutions to gun violence, Mikie’s leadership inspires hope. I can’t wait to see all she will do for the people of New Jersey. 💙

Congratulations to my friend @abigailspanberger.com on her historic victory as Virginia’s first female governor.

Abigail’s courage, integrity, and compassion have always inspired me. I know she’ll continue to lead with heart and fight for safer, stronger communities across Virginia.

Happy Election Day from Loudon County, VA!

Only a few hours left to support my friend @abigailspanberger.com to be Virginia’s next governor and elect new champions like @johnmcauliff.bsky.social. Make your voice heard and vote!

Last stop for today: Alexandria, VA!

I’m proud to have met so many people — from grandmas who have long been demanding better from our elected leaders, to little ones who dream of going to school without the fear of gun violence. Abigail & Senator Hashmi will fight for every Virginian in Richmond.

@gabbygiffords.bsky.social and I know a thing or two about winning tough elections, and that’s what we have on our hands in Virginia. Nothing is guaranteed, so we need to do everything we can to run through the tape tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who is stepping up to get out the vote!

The folks I met today in Springfield, VA are the real heroes for all their work to build safer communities. Let’s finish strong and elect @abigailspanberger.com tomorrow 💪

Mark and I are proud to be in Virginia today with volunteers giving it their all to elect @abigailspanberger.com.

With just one day to go, make sure you have your plan to vote for leaders who will fight for a safer Virginia for all. Let’s get it done!

Extremist attacks have devastated so many communities across our nation, but my Jewish faith has taught me that love will always conquer hate. It’s because of this I know that we will build a future where no one has to fear for their lives in their house of worship.

Seven years later and my heart continues to ache for the 11 people killed and 6 others injured at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue. They were shot as they prayed for no other reason than because they were Jewish.

May their memories forever be a blessing.

Today, I joined Gov. Tim Walz and hundreds of Minnesotans in Waconia for a town hall on preventing gun violence. After the shootings this summer, the governor and state legislative leaders proposed important reform to save lives. We must pass that package, now.

Maine has made progress, but there’s more to do. Leaders must act decisively to protect communities and honor the victims, survivors, and their families.

Today, I’m thinking of Lewiston, Maine, where two years ago, a night of bowling, corn hole, and catching up with neighbors turned deadly because a dangerous person had a gun. Eighteen people were killed, 13 others were wounded, and an entire community was irrevocably changed.

I remember what it meant to finally leave the hospital—the relief mixed with uncertainty about what comes next. I’m so grateful Sophia has reached this milestone and I’m praying for her and her family as they continue their recovery journey.

Sending so much love your way, Sophia ♥️

Over 700,000 southern Arizonans still don’t have representation in Congress, more than three weeks after we elected @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Democracy means honoring the will of the people. Speaker Johnson must do the right thing and swear her in so she can get to work.

Joining @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on the campaign today reminded me why we fight these battles. She's dedicated her entire career to service and is the exact leader New Jersey families need in Trenton to fight crime and expand gun safety laws.

A vote for Mikie is a vote for public safety.

The volunteers I met today across the Garden State are ready to elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social as New Jersey’s next governor!

They are knocking doors, getting out the vote, and making their voices heard 💪
