A CNN review of Brandon Herrera's videos, podcasts and social media found years of comments mocking women's weight, looks and intelligence. He called them jokes. He is the Republican nominee in a district whose last congressman resigned during a House Ethics investigation into sexual misconduct allegations, and his opponent is a woman.
Andrew Clyde led a brief filed September 4 telling the justices that a rifle's usefulness in war is a reason to protect it, not a reason to restrict it. Fifty-seven of the signers have a report card on this site.
Ronald Hayes agreed to talk about his murdered son because he was told the ad was about gun violence. It has been viewed more than 25 million times, as part of a $17 million campaign for Michael Whatley — and the claim at its center is not true.
The Speaker campaigned for Herrera at a San Antonio barbecue joint days after another video surfaced. Johnson backed his opponent in 2024 and again this year, Trump's lawyer sent him a cease-and-desist letter in January, and a Republican group ran ads saying he 'does not belong in Congress.' Nothing about the record changed. A seat came open.
A Texas judge threw out the registration rules for silencers and short-barreled rifles. Six days later, Andrew Clyde — who owns two gun stores — led a letter asking DOJ to skip the appeal and stop enforcing the law nationwide. Thirty-three of the signers have report cards here.
Giffords praised Smith's "tireless commitment" to gun safety and endorsed him in 2018 and 2020. Fifteen months later he voted against every bill on the House floor that would have restricted a gun — and hasn't signed the background-check bill since.
The Fraternal Order of Police and the police chiefs' association both oppose H.R. 38 — they say it cancels qualified immunity for officers and leaves permits unverifiable. Evans cosponsored it on January 9, 2025. In Colorado he also pushed to arm teachers.
H.R. 9298 says any pending lawsuit over the criminal misuse of a gun 'shall be immediately dismissed.' It wipes out the accountability laws 11 states passed. And it makes families who sue and lose pay the gun company's lawyers.
In April a gunman opened fire outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner while Scalise was in the room. Nine years earlier a gunman nearly killed him. After the first one he said it 'fortified' his views. He voted against the gun safety bills that followed.
