Shaundelle Brooks, whose son died in a shooting, ‘channels grief into action’ after Tennessee lawmakers failed her

Propelled by and fed up with what they see as a lack of progress when it comes to addressing America’s epidemic of gun violence, many activists like Brooks, who have felt the effects of gun violence first hand, are embracing a new tactic: running for elected office. For political organizers, this group represents a promising new cohort, whose members, if elected, may finally move the needle on gun reform.

My guy, I am fighting just to survive out here. The process to run for office is difficult and expensive. You need an attorney to help you run for local office or you'll mess up the paperwork. I don't have thousands of dollars to do it and I'm not charismatic in the slightest. In fact, I'm good at getting people to hate me instantly.
