Policy advocates testified on the intersection of U.S. gun violence and public health before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Witnesses brought in by the Democratic majority included University of Chicago Medicine’s Franklin Cosey-Gay and Metropolitan Family Services' Vaughn Bryant, who discussed their organizations' efforts to address the issue. This committee’s chair, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), launched the Chicago HEAL Initiative, which aims to reduce gun violence and spur economic opportunities by increasing engagement between Chicago-based hospitals and vulnerable neighborhoods. Witnesses brought in by the Republican minority were former Associate Deputy Attorney General Steven Cook (Trump administration, 2017-19) and the Heritage Foundation’s Amy Swearer. close
