NRA-PVF Endorses Kevin Yoder for U.S. House of Representatives in Kansas' 3rd Congressional District
Tuesday, September 14, 2010
Fairfax, Va. - The National Rifle Association Political Victory
Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing Kevin Yoder for election to the U.S.
House of Representatives in Kansas' 3rd Congressional District this
November.
Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF stated, "The National
Rifle Association Political Victory Fund supports Kevin Yoder
because he is a staunch defender of the Second Amendment freedoms
of law-abiding gun owners, hunters and sportsmen in Kansas and
across America."
During his time as a state representative, Yoder supported many
pro-gun measures, including voting to prohibit gun confiscation
during states of emergency; voting six times for comprehensive
Right-to-Carry reform to remove burdensome hurdles, restrictions
and excessive fees; voting to prohibit local governments from
enacting gun control; and voting for the proposed amendment to the
state Constitution making the right to keep and bear arms a
fundamental, individual right - which will appear on the general
election ballot this November.
Rep. Yoder also voted twice for the state "Castle Doctrine"
legislation to restore the right of self-defense to law-abiding
citizens in their home or other property and voted for the state
"Castle Doctrine" reform bill, strengthening home self-defense and
correcting the Kansas Supreme Court's Hendrix
decision.
Yoder's proven pro-gun record in the Kansas House of
Representatives has earned him an "A" rating and endorsement from
the NRA-PVF.
"On November 2nd, I urge all Kansas NRA Members and gun owners
to vote Kevin Yoder for Congress," Cox concluded.
