March For Our Lives Endorsements

For the first time ever, March For Our Lives is making endorsements up and down the ballot to help put gun safety champions in office. A lot goes into our endorsements, but top of the list? An ironclad commitment to put gun safety at the top of their agenda—all day, every day. Our first endorsement went to Kamala Harris for President, but we’re excited to help boost several other candidates for US Senate and Congress, in key races that are absolutely must wins in order to pass comprehensive gun safety laws next year. We’re excited to support candidates in Arizona, Michigan, Florida, and New York—states and races where the youth vote is expected to have the greatest impact on the margin of victory. Check out if your candidate has earned our endorsement below, and check back in as we continue to roll out more endorsements!

Harris-Walz for president

Our first-ever endorsement goes to tried-and-true gun safety champions, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. As one of the largest youth-led movements in the nation, we are clear-eyed about the challenge ahead and we believe that they are uniquely suited to meet this moment. Throughout her time in DC, first as a Senator and then as Vice President, she has been a forceful champion for gun safety and for young people. At the 2020 Presidential Gun Safety Forum we hosted with our friends at Giffords, Vice President Harris outlined a bold plan to tackle gun violence from every angle—demanding action from Congress and using the power of the presidency to fight for our lives. Since becoming Vice President, she has met regularly with advocates and survivors of gun violence, and we’ve had the pleasure of working with her as she’s led the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Importantly, Vice President Harris has put gun violence survivors at the center of policymaking, demonstrating her commitment to empowering those most impacted by the issue to implement the right solutions.

Tim Walz first came to our attention when he denounced the NRA as a member of congress, returning their campaign donations and taking votes and positions that flipped his NRA rating from an A to a beautiful, bright red F. As governor of Minnesota, he’s championed commonsense gun laws and brought dedicated funding to evidence-based violence prevention programs that stop gun violence loooong before someone picks up a gun. We’re ecstatic that Vice President Harris picked him as a running mate, and we’re hitting the ground running to put both of them in the White House. Join us!

Since our founding, we’ve helped drive youth turnout to record highs again and again, and the 2024 election will be no exception—and we’re certain that by winning our endorsement, these candidates are putting themselves in the best possible position to win the youth vote. Gun violence has consistently been a driving issue for young voters, and this year it ranks among the top three issues for young people across the nation.
