At a time of crisis in communities across the nation, thoughts and prayers are not enough. David’s first vote on legislation as an Assemblyman was for the NY SAFE Act – the strongest gun control law in our nation. As a Congressman, David will push for a national SAFE Act to ban assault weapons and get dangerous weapons off our streets. Learn more
