NRA-PVF Endorses Arizona Governor Jan Brewer for Re-election
Wednesday, June 23, 2010
Fairfax, Va. -- The National Rifle Association's Political
Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing Arizona Governor Jan Brewer in
the state's August 24th Republican primary election.
Chris W. Cox, chairman of NRA-PVF stated, "Governor Brewer has
earned this endorsement because of her outstanding record of
support for Second Amendment issues as Governor, as Secretary of
State and as a state legislator. She is a champion and strong
defender of the Second Amendment freedoms of law-abiding Arizona
gun owners, hunters and sportsmen."
During her tenure, Governor Brewer has defended and protected
Arizonans' Second Amendment rights by strengthening Arizona's
preemption statute; recognizing the right to carry in restaurants;
and protecting the right of employees to keep a firearm locked in
their vehicles while parked on company property. Most recently, she
became the second governor in the nation to sign a law recognizing
the right of all lawful citizens to carry a firearm without a
permit. Jan Brewer also maintained a perfect voting record during
her twelve years of service in the Arizona Senate and House of
Representatives.
Brewer's support for the Second Amendment as the incumbent
governor has earned her an "A+" rating and endorsement from
NRA-PVF.
"On August 24th, I urge all Arizona NRA members and gun owners
to vote Jan Brewer in the Republican primary election," Cox
concluded.
