| Description | The National Rifle Association-Political Victory Fund has just endorsed Democrat Rep. John Salazar (CO-3), citing “proven commitment to Second Amendment rights.”
Now another Democrat, Rep. Betsy Markey (CO-4), apparently has garnered the NRA endorsement. Her opponent Cory Gardner’s campaign manager Chris Hansen flatly told Battle ‘10, “The NRA told us they were endorsing Betsy Markey.”
Calls to NRA-PVF regarding an imminent endorsement in CO-4 were not immediately returned. There is some consensus that the NRA’s political arm has developed an “incumbent endorsement policy” in contested, non-open seats. A source for Battle ‘10 said that the rule likely is not a hard-and-fast guideline, but given two choices and an incumbent with an adequate rating, the NRA will most likely endorse that person, regardless of party. |
