R.,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
It happened again. Yesterday in Jacksonville, it happened again. In the city where my son Jordan Davis was shot and killed in 2012.                                                                                                                                                                                 
If you missed the news, a shooter killed two and wounded eleven in Jacksonville at a video gaming tournament yesterday, before taking his own life.                                                                                                                                                                 
We say that we must not allow this to become our new normal - because it is so painful to accept that it already is.                                                                                                                                                                                                
The power of prayer is strong - and I am praying hard for all whose lives have been impacted by this tragedy. I am praying that those in positions of power have the courage to take a stand. I am praying that our leaders will do what is right - and that we will live in a safer society because of it.         
But thoughts and prayers are not enough to solve this uniquely American problem. That’s why I decided to run for Congress after Parkland, to bring fresh perspective and new leadership on gun violence prevention to Washington.                                                                                   
I hope our leaders in Florida and Washington will have the courage to act, but I doubt yesterday’s tragedy will move the needle, when so many before have not.                                                                                                                                                      
That’s why I’m in this fight for gun violence prevention, and I take comfort in knowing that if you’re reading this to the end, you’re in this fight with me.
