Endorsement Information for the March 21 Primary Election in Illinois
Due to the tax status of the Illinois State Rifle Assocation, the organization cannot issue campaign endorsements, neither can the National Rifle Association. Rather, endorsements for races in Illinois are issued by the ISRA's affiliate, the ISRA Political Victory Fund (ISRA-PVF), and the NRA's affiliate, NRA PVF.
As of March 20th, the ISRA-PVF has issued endorsements in three races:
Bill Brady for Governor in the Republican primary. If you would like to know more about the ISRA-PVF endorsement of Bill Brady, you can visit the ISRA-PVF website and you can
read the press release that discusses this endorsement.
Richard Remus for Cook County Sheriff in the Democratic primary. His opponent, Tom Dart, is a known enemy of gun owners in Illinois. You can read the ISRA-PVF press release endorsing Richard Remus right here.
Matt Murphy for Illinois Senate in the 27th Senate District Republican primary. His opponent, Palatine Mayor Rita Mullins, is closely aligned with the Daley Administration. You can read the ISRA-PVF press release endorsing Matt Murphy right here.
These are all hotly contested races and all Illinois gun owners are urged to go out and vote.
The NRA PVF has issued some endorsements locally via postcards and phone banks. In an email alert sent March 20, NRA-ILA stated that for NRA-PVF endorsement information, NRA members are encouraged to call the NRA-ILA Grassroots Division at (800) 392-VOTE (8683).
