This week, the CCDL Executive Committee released its endorsements for state-wide offices in the August 14th Republican Primary. These are the candidates we feel have best shown a record of supporting Connecticut gun owners in the past, and have pledged to continue doing so in the future. There are only 6 weeks before the primary election, and these candidates will be making appearances all over the state. We urge you to go out and meet these candidates, ask them questions, and see for yourself just how strongly they support your right to keep and bear arms. If you like what they have to say, PLEASE consider donating some of your time or money to help them win in August. There are antigunners on both sides of the aisle who are also trying to win these elections. It's imperative that CCDL members help these men and women win their elections, to show Hartford that gun owners are not going to allow our rights to be trampled any longer!
