NRA-PVF Endorses Karen Hopper for Election to Arkansas House District 81

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Fairfax, VA - The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) announces its endorsement of Karen Hopper for election in Arkansas' 81st Legislative District on November 4.

"Karen Hopper has a strong commitment to the Second Amendment and our country's rich hunting heritage," said Chris W. Cox. "Because of her pro-gun support, Karen Hopper has earned an 'A' rating and endorsement from NRA-PVF."

Candidate Karen Hopper is a solid advocate for the right to keep and bear arms in Arkansas. She believes that the rights of law-abiding citizens to own firearms and defend themselves and their families must be protected.

A recent radio ad by her opponent, Danny Rowe, may have caused confusion by stating he "has the backing and support of the NRA." This ad is misleading to voters and should not be construed as an endorsement by NRA-PVF.

"Sportsmen and gun owners in Arkansas can trust that Karen Hopper will support and defend their Second Amendment rights, and she is the only NRA-PVF endorsed candidate in the race for Arkansas House District 81," Cox continued. "We urge all NRA members and gun owners in House District 81 to vote for Karen Hopper on November 4."

Chris W. Cox serves as Chairman of NRA-PVF. The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund is responsible for political candidate rankings. These are based on candidate voting records, public statements and responses to NRA-PVF questionnaires.
