Today, gun violence remains the leading cause of premature death for Black men as well as the number two cause of premature death for Latino men and Black women. Mr. Speaker, I am casting my vote for my father; for my constituent, Sean'Jerrion Coleman, a youth leader in Las Vegas; and so many other Americans throughout the country. Mr. Speaker, I thank Greg Jackson at Community Justice Action Fund; Pastor Troy Martinez in Las Vegas; Erica Ford; Giffords: Courage to Fight Gun Violence--some many other groups--Everytown for Gun Safety; Brady: United Against Gun Violence; and Moms Demand Action. Let's pass H.R. 4118 and break the cycle of violence. This is about supporting and funding the communities that need law enforcement.
