FILE - Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson is directed while the Senate prepares for a key test vote on the For the People Act, a sweeping bill that would overhaul the election system and voting rights, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, June 22, 2021. The leaders of the National Governors Association said Friday, June 10, 2022, they're forming a bipartisan working group, led by chair Hutchinson, a Republican, and vice chair New Jersey Gov.
Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas, the group's chairman, and Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, the vice chair, told the White House in a letter that they will convene a group of six to 10 governors, with a particular focus on making schools safe. Hutchinson and Murphy appeared to leave open the possibility that the recommendations could include some gun control proposals. The U.S. House this week“It is our hope that the task force can provide suggestions to keep our schools and communities safe in a manner that is consistent with the demands of the American people, who overwhelmingly support gun safety measures," the governors' letter said.
