O’Donnell RECEIVES NRA POLITICAL VICTORY FUND ENDORSEMENT

March 23, 2012 the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund endorsed Tony O'Donnell for the US House of Representatives Maryland 5th Congressional District. The NRA has given O'Donnell an "A" rating.

According to their website an "A" rating means:

Solidly pro-gun candidate. A candidate who has supported NRA positions on key votes in elective office or a candidate with a demonstrated record of support on Second Amendment issues.

The NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is NRA's political action committee. The NRA-PVF ranks political candidates - irrespective of party affiliation - based on voting records, public statements and their responses to an NRA-PVF questionnaire.

In previous years Steny Hoyer has received an "F" rating from the NRA. The "F" rating indicates:

True enemy of gun owners' rights. A consistent anti-gun candidate who always opposes gun owners' rights and/or actively leads anti-gun legislative efforts, or sponsors anti-gun legislation.

Steny Hoyer has a long record of voting against gun owners' rights.

O'Donnell commented, " I am thankful to have the NRA-PVF's endorsement. I am glad they recognize my commitment to protecting the Second Amendment rights of all Americans."
