As a mother, Christy believes that every one of us has the right to live without the fear of gun violence and protect our families. That’s why she will work to promote public safety in neighborhoods across the 27th District and America by stemming the tide of gun violence and fighting for comprehensive and mandatory universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, “red flag” laws that allow families to ask courts to take guns away from domestic abusers and others who are a danger to themselves and others.

In 2019, our community endured a tragic shooting at Saugus High School that took two innocent lives. As our Assemblywoman, Christy sprang into action to support families and mobilize resources. Christy is very proud to hold an F-rating from the National Rifle Association and is deeply committed to fighting in Congress to reduce gun violence and work towards a new era of gun safety where no community has to face the tragedy we have.

Christy supports commonsense reforms and investments in public safety to continue to reduce emergency response times, lower crime rates, and improve neighborhood security for all communities. Our law enforcement departments can better serve our communities with increased investments in effective community-based policing, racial bias training, and crisis intervention training along with more trained support professionals, especially mental health experts, within and/or in conjunction with departments. In Congress, Christy will work to pass reforms and provide funding to keep all of our communities safe.
