NRA Endorses Rick Tillis for Tennessee State House

Fairfax, Va. - On behalf of our more than five million members, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) today endorsed Rick Tillis for re-election to the 92nd House district of Tennessee.

"Tennesseans can count on Rep. Tillis to protect our individual freedom of self-protection," said Matt Herriman, NRA-ILA's Tennessee state director. “The NRA is proud to endorse his re-election.”

Tillis earned an "A" rating from the NRA. A stalwart champion of the right to keep and bear arms, Tillis demonstrated his support for our rights with his support of the new online concealed carry permit and his public showing of support for Gov. Lee's constitutional carry bill.

"We can count on Rep. Tillis to stand up for our rights to self-defense. The NRA encourages all members, gun owners and sportsmen to vote Rick Tillis during the primary in August," Herriman concluded.​​


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. Be sure to follow the NRA on Facebook at NRA on Facebook and Twitter @NRA.
