WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Congressman Chris Smith (R-N.J.) today received the endorsement of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, the nation's leading gun violence prevention organization. Smith is running for re-election to a 14th term in New Jersey's 4th Congressional District.

Smith has been a strong supporter of the Brady Law, and fought to pass and renew the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. He has also worked to provide additional resources to help prosecute gun crimes.

"We're very pleased that New Jersey has such a strong supporter of common-sense gun laws," said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign. "Congressman Chris Smith knows how important it is to keep illegal guns off the streets, and he's committed to fighting the good fight to keep our families and our communities safe."

As the nation's largest, non-partisan, grassroots organization leading the fight to prevent gun violence, the Brady Campaign, working with its dedicated network of Million Mom March Chapters, is devoted to creating an America free from gun violence, where all Americans are safe at home, at school, at work and in our communities.
