NRA - PVF Endorses Lieutenant Governor Andre' Bauer for Re-Election in South Carolina

Tuesday, June 20, 2006

Fairfax, VA-The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) has endorsed Lieutenant Governor Andre' Bauer in South Carolina’s runoff election Tuesday, June 27, 2006.

 

"Law-abiding gun owners in South Carolina have a true friend in Lieutenant Governor Andre' Bauer," said Chris W. Cox, Executive Director and Chairman of NRA - Political Victory Fund (PVF). "We are pleased to endorse him for re-election, because we know he will continue to protect the Second Amendment and help preserve the shooting sports for future generations."

 

Andre' Bauer received an A rating and NRA endorsement in his first election to South Carolina’s State House in 1996 and A+ ratings for both his election to the State Senate in 1999 and his election as Lieutenant Governor in 2002. 

 

While in the senate, he worked with NRA to pass legislation protecting shooting ranges, preempting reckless lawsuits, and reforming Right-To-Carry laws. As Lieutenant Governor, he supported NRA’s successful effort to repeal the one-handgun-a-month restriction, as well as the recently passed “Emergency Powers Protection Act” and “Castle Doctrine” bills.  Lieutenant Governor Bauer has also pledged to continue his support for NRA efforts to improve South Carolina’s Right-To-Carry reciprocity.

 

Cox continued, "As one of South Carolina's finest public servants, Andre' Bauer has been a steadfast advocate for gun owners, hunters, and the Second Amendment. His pro-gun stance has earned him another A+ rating and endorsement of NRA-PVF."

 

“We ask every gun owner to vote for Andre Bauer June 27th,” concluded Cox. “South Carolinians value their right to own firearms, and Andre' Bauer is the right man to represent them.”
