Buckeye Firearms Association announces endorsements in several local races

by Jim Irvine

Buckeye Firearms Association has endorsed several local candidates for the November 5, 2013 election.

Off-year elections do not garner the same attention as the years when we are voting for president or governor, but they are important to you. Candidates for higher offices generally come from state legislatures, and those candidates come from city councils, law directors, clerk of courts and judicial positions. Electing good candidates at the local level this year will yield better candidates for other offices in future years.

Fewer people vote in off-year elections, making every vote a bigger percentage of the total vote. In general, fewer votes will decide races. This gives you a bigger impact in races this year.

Take advantage of this opportunity. Too many gun owners didn't show up to vote last November, or voted for candidates that didn't support our rights. That energized the anti-freedom groups, and gun owners have come under heavy attack this year. Our side has reversed that trend with two critical recall elections in Colorado and it is critical that we continue that momentum at the polls.

Voting is now underway. Please support our endorsed candidates.
