Candidate Recommendation <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

9th Congressional District:<\/strong> Again, there are several pro-gun candidates but, unfortunately, the party \u201cfavorite,\u201d NC Senator Dan Bishop, is not foremost among them. Former state senator Fern Shubert is indeed a friend of gun owners, but does not appear to be running an effective campaign. In this race, the standout candidate is Stony Rushing, who is a firing range owner, GRNC supporter and the pick of Mark Harris, the candidate who truly won this election but is not running in the re-vote. Accordingly, GRNC-PVF recommends STONY RUSHING<\/span> for Congress in the 9th District.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Candidate recommendations versus evaluations:<\/strong> Above are recommendations <\/em><\/strong>for effective voting strategies by the Grass Roots North Carolina Political Victory Fund. Candidate recommendations, which are more limited than blanket \u201cendorsements,\u201d are not made in all races, only in races where a clear pro-gun candidate stands out or where strategic voting is necessary to keep anti-gun candidates out of office.<\/span><\/p>\n


Recommendations differ from GRNC candidate evaluations. While the evaluations are intended to provide an objective measure of where candidates stand on Second Amendment issues, GRNC\u2013PVF recommendations are analytical and therefore subject to interpretation. For a full explanation of GRNC\u2019s objective star evaluations, go to: https:\/\/www.grnc.org\/remember-in-november\/grnc-candidate-evaluations-2019 <\/a><\/p>\n

Important note:<\/strong> Candidates who lack voting records or other history on Second Amendment issues and who fail to return GRNC\u2019s candidate survey automatically receive a zero star evaluation (0) on the assumption that they are hiding their position from gun voters. Every election year, we receive complaints about ostensibly pro-gun candidates who receive zero star evaluations due to failure to return the survey. Each candidate is mailed a survey to the address he or she registered with the State Board of Elections. If they fail to return the survey, we cannot help candidates who will not help themselves<\/strong><\/span>.
