Delegate Bob Hull

Falls Church, Virginia - Sarah and Jim Brady and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, with its network of Million Mom March Chapters, endorsed Delegate Bob Hull (D-38) today, and urged Virginians to vote for him.

"There is really no finer example of gun control leadership in the Virginia General Assembly than Delegate Bob Hull," said Chad Ramsey, Deputy Executive Director of the Brady Campaign, on Wednesday at a press conference at the James Lee Community Center in the Falls Church area of Fairfax County.

Delegate Hull has been an advocate in the Virginia House of Delegates for laws to end the trafficking of guns to criminals and to protect Virginia's children, families and communities from gun violence. He sponsored legislation to restrict firearms in recreation and community centers, co-sponsored bills to require background checks at gun shows and ban military-style assault weapons in Virginia, and voted to increase penalties for giving minors assault rifles.

"Delegate Bob Hull has been a true champion for gun violence prevention. We appreciate his commitment to commonsense laws that keep our kids and communities safe, and we look forward to his continuing leadership on gun violence prevention." Paul Helmke, the Brady Campaign's Executive Director said.

"For the last 17 years in the General Assembly, I have fought to protect our children and neighborhoods from the threat of gun violence. I am honored to have the endorsement of the Brady Campaign. I want to continue the fight for commonsense gun control legislation in the General Assembly, if re-elected," Delegate Hull said.
