Fairfax, Va. -- The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing State Representative Ed Clere (R-72) for re-election this November.
"Ed Clere's support for our Second Amendment freedoms has earned him the NRA-PVF endorsement," said Chris W. Cox, chairman of NRA-PVF. "Clere will continue to protect the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding gun owners in the Hoosier State."
During his tenure in the Indiana House of Representatives, Ed Clere has consistently supported the right to keep and bear arms, including: signing a pro-gun "friend of the court" brief in McDonald v. Chicago, supporting the position that the Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that protects all Americans; protecting the privacy of concealed firearm permit holders; preventing municipalities from confiscating firearms during a state of emergency; and prohibiting employers from firing employees who lock their firearms in their personal vehicles while at work.
Representative Clere's commitment to preserving our Second Amendment rights and hunting heritage has earned him an "A" rating and endorsement from the NRA-PVF.
"Hoosiers value their Second Amendment freedoms, and Ed Clere is the clear choice to represent them," Cox concluded. "We ask all Indiana gun-owners and hunters in the 72nd House District to re-elect Representative Ed Clere on November 2."
