Dear [firstname],

Our country is caught in a tragic and devastating cycle of gun violence. As a mom and former educator, I am outraged, frustrated, and heartbroken by the countless incidents of senseless gun violence. As a legislator, I am more committed than ever to safeguard our kids and our community with common-sense reforms. Please join me this Thursday, June 16th, at 6:30 pm for my Gun Violence Prevention Telephone Town Hall.

In the interest of public safety, responsible gun owners and non-gun owners alike understand the need to have hard but necessary conversations about keeping our communities safe. Last week, the House took a crucial step forward in those conversations by passing meaningful legislation to improve background checks, keep ghost guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals, and more.

Now, I want to continue the dialogue with you, the members of our community and discuss how gun violence and mental health impact us here at home. I hope you can join our panel discussion to hear an update on my efforts in the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus to advance legislation to protect our schools, communities, and country.

Here are the details for the event: 

Who:

• Representative Chrissy Houlahan
• Chester County Sherriff Fredda Maddox
• Moms Demand Action's Pennsylvania Chapter lead Erin Buchner
• Exec. Director of Chester County Intermediate Unit Dr. George Fiore
• Superintendent of Reading School District Dr. Jennifer Murray

Together, we must discuss enacting meaningful legislation that addresses the root causes of this devastating trend of mass shootings while also respecting responsible gun owners.

Serving as our representative is the honor of my lifetime, and I hope to hear from you soon about this issue or any other issue that concerns you.

 As always, please contact my office if you need assistance. 

Sincerely, 

Chrissy Houlahan 

Member of Congress
