2024 MI Senate race: on Gun Control


Elissa Slotkin: First rep to have two school shootings in her district

Elissa is the first Member of Congress to have two school shootings in her district--the first in Oxford and the second at Michigan State University in East Lansing. Elissa has seen firsthand the toll gun violence has taken on Michigan and our children. In Congress, Elissa has supported no-brainer gun safety measures to keep our communities safe, including safe storage of firearms, universal background checks, red flag laws, and the assault weapons ban.

James Craig: Armed, law-abiding populace is the best deterrent for crime

His conservative political identity became firmly established following his appointment as Chief of Police in the city of Portland, Maine. In that post, Craig was responsible for approving concealed-carry permits, fully subscribing to the notion that an armed, law-abiding populace is the best deterrent for crime.
