Giffords recalled, "For five years I served in Congress from a swing district. Everybody called me a rising star, said Giffords, who was joined onstage by her husband, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly. Then a man tried to assassinate me." This statement highlights her position and the dramatic shift in her life due to gun violence that has made her a prominent voice for gun safety.
"I almost died. But I fought for my life and I survived," Giffords said, emphasizing her resilience and the personal journey she undertook after the horrific event, which is a central theme of empowerment and survival.
Together with her husband, Giffords launched a gun violence prevention advocacy and research center. She stated, "Kamala can beat the gun lobby," demonstrating her confidence in political allies to enact change.
