FAIRFAX, VA - The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) gave “A” ratings to both Tom Coburn and Brad Carson in the Oklahoma Senate race. However, neither candidate received the endorsement for the general election.
The Oklahoma Democratic Party has a mailing to Oklahoma gun owners and hunters with misleading information concerning an NRA-PVF endorsement. This is a blatant attempt to mislead Oklahoma voters.
The Oklahoma Democratic Party must cease and desist this campaign of deception. The NRA remains neutral in this race thus far, but reserves the right to get involved if our position continues to be distorted.
