Julianne Moore Instagram – This week’s #WomanCrushWednesday goes to North Carolina State Representative for District 57, @tracyclarkfornc.
Tracy first stepped into advocacy with @momsdemand_nc in 2018, working to protect North Carolina’s limited gun safety laws in a challenging political landscape. In 2024, she took her commitment to the next level, representing Northern Greensboro in the North Carolina House of Representatives–first through appointment, then by winning her seat outright. Tracy sharpened her skills through #DemandASeat, a candidate training program by the Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund, to help ensure she was ready to effectively represent her constituents and be a true #GunSafetyChampion.
She has lost three people in her life to gun violence so her advocacy and legislative work on gun violence prevention is deeply personal.
Since taking office, Tracy has been a leading voice in the North Carolina State House when it comes to life-saving gun safety measures, championing legislation supporting secure firearm storage and extreme risk protection orders.
This week, she introduced legislation for gun owners to report a lost or stolen firearm within 24 hours, which would make NC one of only 17 states with requirements for reporting lost and stolen guns on the books. Research shows that guns reported lost were three times more likely to be used in crimes. Stolen guns had nearly nine times the likelihood.
Thank you, Tracy, for your leadership, dedication, and relentless pursuit of a safer future for all. #WCW | Posted on 13/Mar/2025 00:13:59
