Simi Valley, California -- Michael Masterman-Smith stands with all the students participating in
the walk-out today and pledges to fight for better gun policy.
Michael Masterman-Smith, a Democratic candidate and healthcare specialist running for
congress in district 25, is pledging to take the issue of gun violence to the Capitol. Being inspired
by the bravery of these students he stated, “It is time for lawmakers to have the same courage our
students have to change America's broken gun policy.¨
Michael´s plan starts with repealing the Dickey Amendment, which bans the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention from identifying the best ways to prevent gun violence. Stating that, ¨It is
impossible to create effective strategies to reduce and prevent gun violence when our best and
brightest prevention specialists at the CDC are prohibited from this crucial task.¨ He also supports mandatory
waiting periods and background checks.
His plan further includes improving our education system. Instead of putting armed teachers in
the classroom, he plans to provide teachers with competitive salaries and the resources they need
for our children to feel safe, heard, cared for, and given a proper foundation to pursue their
endeavors at the highest capacity. ¨The NRA does not care for our children. They should not be
able to dictate the terms of their education. It is time we ARM our schools with real resources
and real funding. It is heartbreaking that our students live in fear due to the inaction of our
Congress,¨ Michael said in his statement.
