Honor the lives of those who died by working to reduce gun violence.
May 26, 2021, 7:30am. “You okay?” This text message still sits on my phone, where it will forever remain unopened. I look at it from time to time with a feeling of anxiety, as if waiting for a response.
Mike sadly became part of a larger and disturbing nationwide trend of gun violence. In 2021, there were over 45,000 lives taken by gun violence in the United States. However, mass shootings only accounted for 1% of overall firearm-related deaths, while suicides made up an astounding 53%, and homicides, murders and unintentional incidents comprised 46%.
During my seven years as a San José City Councilmember, I have supported every firearm safety initiative brought before the council, from sensible policies strengthening gun storage laws to banning ghost guns. However, after losing Mike, I channeled my emotions into a more comprehensive and thoughtful approach, with a stronger focus on mental health and wellness.
