Hi 👋 I'm Iowa Sen Sarah Trone Garriott.
I got involved w/ @MomsDemand to keep kids safe. In '20 I defeated an A-rated NRA Republican & flipped a seat.
Now I'm up against the GOP Sen President, who's also backed by the NRA. Can you RT & follow to help us defeat extremism again?

It shouldn't matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.

Here’s how I plan to not get COVID.
