Congressman Elijah Cummings
:  My nephew Christopher was twenty years old when his life was tragically cut short.

He didn't do anything wrong, but like so many of our young people here, his life was taken by a bullet.

I'm Congressman Elijah Cummings, and stopping the madness of gun violence is a big reason I am working so hard to elect Hillary Clinton. 

I've known Hillary for two decades.  Unlike some, she's always fought for background checks, to close the loopholes that let the wrong people buy guns, and--just like President Obama--she won't be intimidated by anybody, that includes the gunmakers and their lobbyists.

Hillary Clinton:  I will keep fighting on behalf of all who have been lost because of this senseless gun violence in our country.

Congressman Elijah Cummings:  Maryland, stand with Hillary!  Vote early or vote on Election Day, Tuesday, April 26th.  But vote.  Because we need Hillary to continue President Obama's fight to end gun violence.

Hillary Clinton:  I'm Hillary Clinton, candidate for president, and I approve this message.

Male Announcer:  Paid for by Hillary for America.


Notes: The April 20 press release...

Today, Hillary for Maryland began airing a new radio ad featuring Congressman Elijah Cummings ahead of the April 26 primary. "Twenty Years Old" highlights Hillary Clinton's commitment to commonsense approaches to reduc​e gun violence, ​including strengthening background checks, closing loopholes that let the wrong people buy guns, and standing up to gunmakers and the gun lobby.

In the ad, Cummings tells the story of his nephew Christopher, who fell victim to gun violence at only twenty years old. The spot, which will air in Baltimore, concludes with Cummings telling Maryland voters, "We need Hillary to continue President Obama's fight to end gun violence."
