Strickland Wins NRA Endorsement
Only Ohio Gubernatorial Candidate to Receive NRA Support in May 2 Primary
Columbus, Ohio - The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) has endorsed Ohio gubernatorial candidate Congressman Ted Strickland for the May 2 primary election, the Strickland for Governor campaign announced today.
Strickland received an “A” rating from the NRA based on his consistent legislative record in support of Second Amendment rights in Congress and his responses to the 2006 NRA candidate questionnaire.
In an endorsement letter to Strickland, Chris Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF, acknowledged Strickland’s pro-sportsmen voting record as a member of Congress and urged NRA members and supporters to vote in the primary.
“During your tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives, you have demonstrated a proven commitment to the defense of our Second Amendment rights,” Cox said. “The NRA-PVF urges all NRA members, gun owners and sportsmen to vote for you in Ohio’s Democratic primary for governor on May 2, 2006.”
“I am thankful for this endorsement and the NRA’s acknowledgement of my steady and consistent support for sportsmen and gun owners throughout my time in Congress,” Strickland said.
“I have always believed that law-abiding citizens have a right to the freedoms outlined in the Second Amendment. As governor, I will continue to fight to protect those rights.”
Ted talks about the endorsement
Ted gets the endorsement, Blackwell wears the jacket. LOL. How many right-wing nutjobs will criticize this obvious attempt to pander to the NRA? He looks about as at home in the bomber jacket as I would in a Duke T-shirt. Ted is the real deal, and real Republicans are going to take notice, much like they will in the 12th with Shamansky. I can’t wait to see the end of Republican dominated idiocy, really I can’t!
