The National Rifle Association (NRA) has decided to endorse Senator Mae Beavers for the District 17 State Senate race.
In a letter to Senator Beavers on behalf of the nation’s largest guns rights organization, NRA State Liaison Heidi Keesling said the following: “On behalf of National Rifle Association members in State Senate District 17, I am pleased to announce your NRA-PVF “A+” rating and endorsement for the 2010 Tennessee Primary Election. This is a reflection of your answers to our candidate questionnaire in addition to your record of promoting and supporting Second Amendment legislation while serving in the Tennessee General Assembly.”
Senator Beavers was grateful for the endorsement, as it reflects a lifetime of supporting 2nd Amendment Rights on behalf of the citizens of District 17 and of the entire state of Tennessee.
“I am a proud to protect the rights of law-abiding and responsible citizens,” said Senator Beavers. “I believe in the constitutions of the State of Tennessee and of the United States of America – and my constituents know I will fight for their rights. I am honored to know that an organization such as the NRA has recognized my will to fight for what I believe.”
