MISSION
Brady PAC is dedicated to a singular goal: creating a safer America by supporting and investing in candidates who are committed to enacting, improving, and defending Gun Violence Prevention (GVP) policies across the country.
About
Formed leading up to the 2018 midterm elections, Brady PAC was created to serve as a counterweight to “dark money” Super PACs created by the gun industry lobby. It upholds the policy ideals that have been championed by its sister organization, Brady — one of the nation’s oldest gun violence prevention grassroots advocacy organizations. Brady PAC supports candidates running for local, state, and federal office who support universal background checks, reenacting the assault weapons ban, implementing extreme risk protection orders, and instituting other common-sense gun violence prevention legislation that will make our homes, schools, and communities safer.

A Winning Strategy
That Makes an Impact
Brady PAC takes a comprehensive approach, making strategic investments across all levels of government, up and down the ballot, to create a multiplier effect for positive change. We do not shy away from tough races — aggressively targeting gun industry favorites when warranted.
In the 2024 cycle, we stood with more than 220 local, state, and federal candidates who are champions of change. We will continue to grow these numbers in 2025 and 2026 and increase our impact in key battleground states.
2025 Agenda
The electoral landscape has never been more important in the fight to end gun violence. Americans are demanding change at the ballot box, and they want it NOW.
Brady PAC’s focus in 2025 is on creating a Gun Safety Trifecta in Virginia. We will elect a proven leader as Governor who will fight front and center on gun reform. Our organization is also focused on expanding the current majority in the Virginia House, and with it, meaningful progress for Virginians who want change.
Similarly, we will protect the Governor’s Mansion in New Jersey from hardline extremists who would reverse years of hard-fought progress if elected. Every gun safety seat in the New Jersey General Assembly must also be protected.
And we are continuing to build the resources and momentum to take back the U.S. House in 2026. Your support is essential.
