FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Fred Guttenberg, one of the most recognizable, outspoken parents of children killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre, is endorsing Nikki Fried for the Democratic nomination for governor.
“Nikki Fried has always been a friend and an ally to those of us working to change gun laws. She understands that fighting for common sense gun safety measures isn’t just a political position, it is a fundamental necessity for our democracy to continue to function,” Guttenberg said in a statement released Tuesday by the Fried campaign.
“We can’t rely on the politics of the past anymore. If we want to see progress in the fight to make our churches, offices, parks, and schools a safer place to be, then we need to try something new. I’m proud to stand with Nikki today,” he said.
