Spanberger rallies for gun violence prevention
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger participated in a rally with the gun safety advocate group Moms Demand Action Wednesday morning.
“I'm a mother of three girls in Virginia Public Schools,” Spanberger said to the crowd. “I'm also a former federal agent who carried a gun every single day for my job. So I come at this issue as someone who cares deeply about the safety of our kids and as someone who understands the responsibilities of owning and of carrying a firearm.”
