The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund today endorsed Steve Russell in the Republican runoff for Congress in the 5th District.
Russell, retired Army officer who owns Two Rivers Arms in Oklahoma City, faces Corporation Commissioner Patrice Douglas in the runoff.
In a letter to Russell, NRA Federal Affairs Director James Baker says, “Based on your leadership on Second Amendment issues in the Oklahoma State Senate, you have earned an ‘A’ rating from the NRA-PVF. Throughout your career, you have consistently opposed all attempts restrict gun rights and have been a strong advocate of the Second Amendment.”
“This is a tremendous honor from an organization which millions of Americans hold in the highest esteem,” says Russell. “As a life member of the National Rifle Association, I admire the way the NRA leads the fight to defend the Second Amendment so I cherish this endorsement.”
Russell is the only Congressional candidate in the country to use a rifle to save his life, to author NRA-sponsored bills into law, and who also owns a rifle manufacturing company.
