At least two people were shot and killed and 14 others were shot and wounded late last night at a bar in Austin, TX. Around the same time, nine people were shot and wounded at a music venue in Cincinnati, OH.

Congress must work to build safer communities and pass meaningful gun safety legislation. I am committed to doing so.

Happy Women’s History Month! This March, we honor the women who create, who lead, who nurture, who innovate, and who refuse to accept injustice.

And we uplift the @momsdemandaction.org and @studentsdemandaction.org volunteers and survivors on the frontlines of the fight to end gun violence.

We must end America’s gun violence epidemic. Americans should be able to have fun at a bar without it turning into an unspeakable nightmare like this one— and I will redouble my efforts in Congress to prevent the next tragedy like this.

We feel honored and grateful to our friend and research partner Dr. Elinore Kaufman, who recognized our work when she authored a chapter in this important new text. When others cite our work, it helps advance our mission to improve media narratives and help prevent gun violence. www.pcgvr.org

I’m proud to be a @momsdemandaction.org & @bradypac.bsky.social advocate!

Gun violence touches every corner of our state & leaves communities dealing with consequences.

I don’t shy away from hard issues. Records are being compared — this support makes clear who TX can count on to fight for them.

My heart is with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Austin community after last night’s tragic mass shooting. A night at a bar should never become a death sentence — not in America, not anywhere. We can do more—and we must do more—to end the gun violence epidemic.

Texas leaders demand action after Austin mass shooting "We must end America’s gun violence epidemic."

"We must end America’s gun violence epidemic."

What we know: How many killed, who's involved in West 6th Street shooting Three people were killed and 14 were injured in a shooting outside Buford’s bar on Sixth Street in downtown Austin.

Last night's mass shooting in Austin is another devastating reminder of the gun violence epidemic tearing through this country. My heart is with the victims and their families. We cannot keep accepting this as normal.

We must address the gun violence and mental health epidemic in this nation if we ever want things to change.

I am heartbroken to hear of the mass shooting today in Austin. We are the ONLY nation where this happens so regularly. It is a deliberate choice by our government to allow these acts of violence to continue to happen year after year, decade after decade, without addressing any of the root causes.

Heartbroken by the shooting in Austin. No community should have to live in fear of gun violence.

These tragic incidents will keep happening until Congress finds the courage to prioritize efforts to end the violence.

Gun violence is a public health crisis. Honored to be awarded the 2026 @momsdemandaction.org Gun Sense Candidate distinction and proud to fight with them for safer schools, safer neighborhoods, and real accountability.

Congress must continue to work to end the scourge of gun violence in our country.

A horrific shooting in Austin early this morning outside a popular bar took the lives of three people and injured fourteen more.

No one should fear facing violence on a night out. The victims and their families are in my thoughts and I am praying for the recoveries of those hospitalized.

This morning we woke up to the horrific news of another mass shooting, this time at a beer garden in Austin, Texas. First responders rushed in and stopped the shooter quickly, but an enormous amount of pain remains for loved ones and for the city.

We can pray AND we can use the tools we have been given to ACT.

To the elected officials who have tweeted their prayers today for Austin while continuing to obstruct life-saving measures: we see you, and we will remember you this November.
