It’s been 5 years today since a Louisville mother was shot 12x as she walked into work at a Cincinnati bank. Her story of survival & moving forward to help others is incredible @WhitStrongOrg wlky.com/amp/article/louisvi…

These are not common-sense laws. @WhitStrongOrg makes it easy to let your elected representatives know how you feel, and you can join me in making a donation while you're at it.

“Under current Kentucky law, the assault rifle that was used to murder five of our neighbors and shoot at rescuing police officers will one day be auctioned off. Think about that. That murder weapon will be back on the streets”

LIVE NOW: @WhitStrongOrg joins @TanyaORourke live in Louisville - this morning’s shooting there is painfully familiar to her. She was shot a dozen times and survived 2018’s shooting at Fifth Third Center in downtown Cincy. @WCPO

We’ve got to have conversations about what government can do to protect against gun violence. Government cannot be the only solution, but it must be part of it. I don’t pretend to have a solution, but I’m willing to try to find one. #kyga24
