Texas state Sen. Roland Gutierrez became a vocal advocate for gun control laws following last year's mass school shooting in Uvalde.
Texas state Sen. Roland Gutierrez announced he is vying for the U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. Ted Cruz in next year's election.
Gutierrez's prominence increased after the May 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, when 19 students and two teachers were killed. Gutierrez is appearing to make gun legislation part of his campaign pitch in the Republican-leaning state. Texans have not elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1988. Gutierrez introduced several gun control bills in the Texas legislature following the Uvalde shooting. Among them was raising the age to purchase a firearm and establishing a compensation fund for victims of gun violence.
