Former Arizona congresswoman and gun control advocate Gabby Giffords (D) is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president, a spokeswoman confirmed to The Huffington Post.

Giffords' husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, will also back Clinton. The endorsement is a personal one, however, separate from the couple's political action committee, Americans for Responsible Solutions, which is dedicated to curbing gun violence.

On Sunday, the couple released a statement officially announcing the endorsement, calling Clinton the only candidate who "has the determination and toughness to stand up to the corporate gun lobby --  and the record to prove it."

"Today, we are proud to have Hillary’s back, and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with her to, once and for all, break the stranglehold the corporate gun lobby has had on American politics -- and American families -- for so long," Giffords and Kelly said in the statement.

The endorsement was first reported by CBS News.

Friday marked five years since a gunman shot Giffords in the head and killed six others at a constituent meeting outside a supermarket in Tucson. After an impressive recovery, Giffords and her husband began to lobby for gun control.

Thank you, Gabby. Best wishes for your continuing good health.

Getting an endorsement from a vegetable is hardly something to boast about.

Do you ready think of Gabby as a vegetable? What makes you any better than ISIS terrorists?
He didn't throw her off of a tall building yet?
 
Why is this newsworthy? All democrats endorse Hillary. The last democrat who strayed from the pack was Joe Lieberman and they kicked him out of the party.
