"When tragedy struck in Uvalde last summer, I was lucky to have Brian Williams - a trauma surgeon with years of experience treating victims of gun violence - on my team as we wrote the most significant piece of gun safety legislation in thirty year. I am confident that the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act marked the beginning of a new era for the gun safety movement, but we need more people like Brian in Congress to build on that success. There are few people more dedicated to serving others than Brian, and I am proud to endorse his campaign for Texas' 32nd Congressional District.”

“Dr. Williams stepped up and served this nation in uniform as his father did before him. With the skills he acquired, he could have gone anywhere and done anything, but he chose to pursue a career saving lives in their most desperate moment. Dr. Williams knows what weapons of war do in a way that most people will thankfully never have to know. In Congress, he’ll be uniquely positioned to advocate for sane gun laws that make this nation safer. We’re very proud to endorse him.”

“I am supporting Dr. Brian Williams for Congress because his priorities–common sense gun safety reform and access to healthcare–are also mine. Gun violence is an epidemic in America, and Texas leads the nation in gun deaths. Too many people have little or no access to health care, leading to preventable disease and premature death. These issues affect all of us physically, emotionally and financially. Dr. Williams has the experience to lead on issues related to health care. As a trauma surgeon, he has direct experience with the tragedy of gun violence. As a veteran knows that military grade weapons belong in the military, not in the hands of civilians.”

“When I founded GIFFORDS in the aftermath of Sandy Hook, we met with countless elected leaders who didn’t have the courage to stand up to the gun lobby and support gun safety bills. But the tide has turned and today, we’re awarding one of the inaugural GIFFORDS Champion Awards to Brian Williams, who is proudly running for office on the issue of gun safety.

Candidates everywhere can run and win on a platform of gun safety. Americans want their kids to be safe at school and in public spaces, and they want their leaders to build a safer future for the next generation. I’m so proud to present Brian Williams with this award, and I can’t wait to get him elected in November. “

“I can’t think of anyone better prepared to lead the fight for a safer America in Congress than Dr. Brian Williams. When you have done the unthinkable – telling parents that their child that left that morning won’t be coming home because they have been shot – it changes you, and for Brian Williams, it changed him into one of the most powerful fighters for change in this country.”

“We need elected officials who care about the people they serve, not just those who voted for them. We need leaders who are not playing political games, but who are about getting things done for the people they represent. We need leaders who are genuine, diligent, ethical and who are servant leaders. Brian Williams is what we need.”

“Dr. Brian Williams has lived a life committed to service, from the Air Force Academy to the halls of Parkland Hospital to policy advising in DC. Altogether, this makes him an exceptional candidate for Congress—one who understands the complex issues affecting our children today. With Dr. Williams in Congress, we have a champion who will prioritize policies that genuinely benefit children - for a change.”

“UA Local 100 is proud to endorse Dr. Brian Williams in his bid for Congress in Texas US House District 32. He has been vocal on issues that directly affect the members of our organization. These issues include his support of the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, investment in apprenticeship programs, and continued support for labor unions to have a seat at the table. In addition, Dr. Williams is a man of high character who has spoken out fearlessly on issues he is passionate about.”
