NRA Endorses Ron Estes for Congress

Press Release

The National Rifle Association on Friday announced it has endorsed State Treasurer Ron Estes in the April 11th Kansas 4th Congressional District special election.

The NRA praised Estes as a protector of gun rights, citing his opposition to anti 2nd Amendment policy trends that work to restrict ownership of guns and related equipment.

"Your dedication to protecting our rights is clearly demonstrated by your commitment to oppose all attempts to ban lawfully-owned firearms, magazines, and ammunition, and your willingness to stand strong against former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's gun control agenda," the NRA endorsement letter states.

Treasurer Estes has been a proud supporter of 2nd Amendment rights since he was a child growing up on a farm in rural Osage County Kansas.

"The right to bear arms is integral to the American way of life. It's a right cherished by millions across the country and in Kansas," Treasurer Estes said. "The 2nd Amendment is a cornerstone of our Bill of Rights and every law abiding citizen has a right to defend themselves, their family and their property."

The endorsement letter also praised Treasurer Estes' support for concealed carry laws. "NRA members and gun owners appreciate your strong support for concealed carry reciprocity, to ensure that the 15 million law-abiding Americans who can carry a concealed firearm in their home state are able to do so in any other state that does not prohibit concealed carry," according to the letter from NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox.
