Giffords is an organization dedicated to saving lives from gun violence. Led by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, we inspire the courage of people from all walks of life to make America safer.
Emma Brown became the
executive director of GIFFORDS in January 2024, where she oversees
the organization’s work to save lives from gun violence through
shifting culture, changing policies, and challenging injustice.
Prior to leading GIFFORDS, Emma served as campaign manager for
Senator Mark Kelly’s 2022 reelection campaign in Arizona, where she
ran a $100 million effort that reelected a Democratic senator in
Arizona for the first time in 34 years. In 2020, Emma served as the
coordinated campaign director for President Biden’s campaign in
Arizona, leading the largest voter contact program in state history
and marking the first time a Democratic presidential campaign
carried Arizona since 1996. During that cycle, she also served as
Senator Kelly’s deputy campaign manager.
Emma has also run battleground congressional and state legislative
programs in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, and she was named the
“State Campaign Manager of the Year” by the American Association of
Political Consultants. Originally from Alexandria, Virginia, Emma
is a graduate of Colby College and is based in Washington
DC.
