Statement From NRA-PVF Chairman
Chris W. Cox On The 2010 Nevada U.S. Senate Race

In the coming days and weeks, the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) will be announcing endorsements and candidate ratings in hundreds of federal races, as well as thousands of state legislative races. Unless these announcements are required by the timing of primary or special elections, the NRA-PVF generally does not issue endorsements while important legislative business is pending. The NRA-PVF also operates under a long-standing policy that gives preference to incumbent candidates who have voted with the NRA on key issues, which is explained in more detail here. After careful consideration, the NRA-PVF announced today that it will not be endorsing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for re-election in the 2010 U.S. Senate race in Nevada. Read more

As in every election year, some of these endorsements sometimes prompt questions concerning the criteria NRA-PVF uses in making these decisions. Following is a brief explanation of that policy.

The NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action wrapped up its lobbying efforts at the first session of the UN committee drafting an "arms trade treaty."
Your Help Is Needed In Support of BATFE Reform Bills S. 941 And H.R. 2296 
The bills would roll back unnecessary restrictions, correct errors, and codify longstanding congressional policies in the firearms arena.
