The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is proud to announce endorsements in three critical Virginia races. Based on their pro-gun advocacy and commitment to preserving the rights of Virginians, NRA-PVF has issued the following endorsements:
- Governor: Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears
- Attorney General: Jason Miyares (Incumbent)
- Lieutenant Governor: John Reid
Following the announcement of the endorsements for these nationally targeted races, NRA-PVF Chairman John Commerford released the following statement:
“The Second Amendment rights of Virginians have been under constant attack by radical progressives who seek to rubberstamp Michael Bloomberg’s extreme gun control agenda. By electing pro-gun candidates like Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, Attorney General Jason Miyares, and John Reid, Virginia gun-owners can rest assured that they will be protected from the never-ending push to disarm law-abiding citizens.”
To ensure that the rights of law-abiding gun owners remain protected, the National Rifle Association is deploying staff and resources to push pro-gun candidates in Virginia to victory.
“In today’s current political era, simply voting is no longer enough. NRA members and Second Amendment advocates must take an active role in the political process. Get involved, knock doors, register voters, and do whatever it takes to push pro-gun candidates to victory,”said Commerford.
Gun rights supporters and NRA members in Virginia are encouraged to view the complete list of endorsements on nrapvf.org and support candidates who prioritize the rights of gun owners and sportsmen.
BACKGROUND:
Governor: Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears ("A" Endorsed)
Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, a Marine veteran and former Virginia Delegate, has dedicated her life to upholding the Constitutional rights of Virginians. Throughout her career, Sears has been an outspoken leader in the fight against progressive politicians’ incessant calls to disarm law-abiding citizens, ban commonly owned firearms, and undermine the Constitutional rights of their constituents.
As Lieutenant Governor, Sears worked alongside Governor Glenn Youngkin, who vetoed dozens of extreme gun control measures and fought for the rights of all Virginia residents. As the next Governor of the Commonwealth, NRA members can rest assured that Sears' veto pen stands at the ready to protect the rights of gun owners.
Attorney General: Jason Miyares ("A" Endorsed)
Throughout his career, Attorney General Jason Miyares has continually fought for and delivered key victories for NRA members. As a former prosecutor and current Attorney General, Miyares understands that promoting policies that target criminals, not law-abiding gun owners, is the key to lowering crime rates in the Commonwealth.
Before becoming the Attorney General, Miyares served as a Delegate in the Virginia House of Delegates, where he voted to block extreme gun control measures. These proposals included, but were not limited to, firearm confiscation orders, arbitrary waiting periods, expanding gun-free zones, and bans on commonly owned firearms and magazines.
Lieutenant Governor: John Reid ("A" Endorsed)
John Reid is a prolific pro-gun voice in Virginia media. Throughout his career, Reid has been a vocal gun rights advocate and opposes progressive policies that would disarm law-abiding citizens. As Lieutenant Governor, John Reid will continue his fight to protect and preserve Second Amendment rights in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
