Chipman Will Advance to Full Senate Vote

Last week, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee split down party lines (11 Democrats to 11 Republicans) on whether or not David Chipman will receive a vote on the Senate floor. The split essentially means Senate Democrats will have to jump through some extra procedural hoops, but ultimately, the full Senate will weigh in.

We are hearing the likely full Senate vote will happen in mid-July 2021. Now is the time to keep the pressure on your Senators, particularly the following members of the U.S. Senate:

• Sen. Joe Manchin (D – WV)
• Sen. Susan Collins (R – Maine)
• Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R – Alaska)
• Sen. Jon Tester (D – Mont.)
• Sen. Krysten Sinema (D – AZ)
• Sen. Mark Kelly (D – AZ) *Kelly should recuse himself from the vote as Chipman is still employed by Kelly's wife, Gabby Giffords, who runs a pro-gun control organization.
