NRA Launches Ad Buy Urging Swift Confirmation of Judge Neil Gorsuch

Fairfax, Va.— The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) today launched a $1 million ad buy urging confirmation of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court. The four spots will run locally in Montana, Indiana, Missouri and North Dakota.

“Judge Gorsuch is an outstanding nominee and will protect our fundamental right to keep and bear arms,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director, NRA-ILA. “We will be fully activating our five million members in support of his confirmation.”

This ad campaign comes as Senate Democrats attempt to derail Gorsuch’s confirmation. Already, they have unjustifiably delayed the Senate Judiciary Committee vote for a week and threatened a filibuster.

"Judge Gorsuch is a highly qualified nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. We encourage all Senators to listen to the American people and vote in favor of his confirmation."
