NRA Endorses Rick Saccone for U.S House of Representatives

FAIRFAX, Va. – The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) has endorsed State RepresentativeRick Saccone in the March 13, 2018 Special Election in the 18thCongressional District of Pennsylvania. 

“Rick Saccone is a proven supporter of the Second Amendment,” said NRA-PVF Chairman Chris W. Cox. “As a State Representative, Rick was a leader in the effort to expand law-abiding citizens' right to self-protection while consistently opposing attempts to ban lawfully owned firearms, magazines and ammunition.”

Saccone has an “A+” rating from NRA-PVF. This is the highest possible rating a candidate can attain, and is reserved for only those with excellent voting records on critical Second Amendment issues.  

Among his many accomplishments, Rick helped bring Castle Doctrine legislation to Pennsylvania and sponsored a bill to expand the rights of law-abiding citizens to carry firearms for self-defense. 

“The NRA is honored to endorse Rick Saccone and appreciates his support of the Second Amendment,” continued Cox. “The NRA encourages all Pennsylvania gun-owners, hunters and sportsmen to vote for Rick Saccone in the March 13, 2018 Special Election.”   


Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America's oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group. More than five million members strong, NRA continues to uphold the Second Amendment and advocates enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services.
