Voters are asking tough questions about where candidates stand on gun safety. Are they in favor of strong gun laws that save lives or do they side with the gun lobby in putting easy access to guns ahead of public safety?

To help voters, CAGV graded candidates running for the CT General Assembly and statewide office and we have endorsed candidates who we believe will be true leaders passing common-sense gun laws—and have already distinguished themselves as champions of gun violence prevention legislation as central to their core beliefs. Click here to learn more about how we graded candidates.

How to Use this Scorecard

If you’d like to see a candidate’s grade and endorsement status for a particular candidate, enter their name in the search box below above the appropriate list. Or click on any of the column headings to sort the list on that field.

If you’re unsure of your General Assembly districts, click here to open a new tab on the Connecticut General Assembly Find Your Legislators page. Return to the CAGV website on the previous tab and enter the Representative or Senate District in the search box.
