Goyle, who has been vocal about the need for gun control and has positioned himself firmly on the side of gun violence prevention, has also been named a 2026 Gun Sense Candidate by Moms Demand Action.
Moms Demand Action is a leading national grassroots organization dedicated to preventing gun violence through advocacy for stricter gun laws, background checks and gun safety measures.
The organization endorses candidates who publicly support gun violence prevention measures, such as universal background checks, safe storage laws and other common-sense gun reforms, as Gun Sense candidates.
Acknowledging the backing, Goyle said on X, “Thank you to Moms Demand Action for awarding me the 2026 Gun Sense Candidate distinction!”
