04/20/2018 Tweet - "Today marks the 19th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre--another reminder that we must keep fighting to end the scourge of gun violence impacting lives & shattering communities nationwide. Enough is enough. The time is now to pass meaningful gun safety laws."

03/24/2018 Tweet - "To all the students marching today: never doubt that your voices are powerful and are being heard. I'm so proud of all those in WA and nationwide who are refusing to let their elected leaders ignore the violence that has shattered communities for far too long. #MarchForOurLives"
03/23/2018 Tweet - "Ahead of tomorrow's #MarchForOurLives, thank you to the Marysville Pilchuck HS survivors and families for making the trip from Washington state to the other Washington to make your voices heard. We're standing with you. #MPstrong"
03/21/2018 Tweet - "It is well past time we prioritized research into gun safety. While we should be doing more, I'm glad Republicans are finally willing to join Democrats in affirming the Department of Health and Human Services' authority to conduct this critical research."

03/16/2018 Tweet - "I have serious concerns that President Trump's commission on school safety, which @BetsyDeVosED has been asked to lead, will be another attempt by the White House to distract from and delay meaningful gun safety action."
