While all of the candidates are pro-gun, Ellmers has been accused of aligning with moderates, and her gun rights voting record is based on a single vote. GRNC-PVF recommends\u00a0<strong>GEORGE HOLDING<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">US HOUSE DISTRICT 3 (R): Challengers Phil Law (100% survey, ****) and Taylor Griffin (NR, 0-star) seek to unseat incumbent Walter Jones (****). With a 97% pro-gun voting record stretching over 22 years and a perfect 100% survey average, GRNC-PVF recommends\u00a0<strong>WALTER JONES<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">US HOUSE DISTRICT 4 (R): Sue Googe (survey 81%, ***) and Teiji Kimball (survey 93%, ****) vie to unseat anti-gun incumbent David Price (GRNC 0-star). GRNC-PVF recommends\u00a0<strong>TEIJI KIMBALL<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">US HOUSE DISTRICT 5 (R): Challenger Pattie Curran (survey 98%, ****) seeks to unseat incumbent Virginia Foxx (****). To be clear, Curran is a pro-gun activist who would serve the district well. But with a perfect 100% voting record and perfect 100% survey average, GRNC-PVF recommends\u00a0<strong>VIRGINIA FOXX<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">US HOUSE DISTRICT 6 (R): Challenger Chris Hardin (survey 96%, ****) seeks to unseat one-term incumbent Mark Walker (survey 99%, ****). Although Walker has not yet had to vote on gun-related legislation, evidence continues to indicate he will defend gun rights. GRNC-PVF recommends\u00a0<strong>MARK WALKER<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">US HOUSE DISTRICT 8 (R): Challenger Tim D\u2019Annunzio (survey 100%, ****) seeks to unseat one-term incumbent Richard Hudson (survey 100%, ****). Although Hudson has not yet had to vote on gun-related legislation, evidence continues to indicate he will defend gun rights. Meanwhile, D\u2019Annunzio has proven to be a less than optimal candidate in previous races. GRNC-PVF recommends\u00a0<strong>RICHARD HUDSON<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">US HOUSE DISTRICT 9 (R): Challenger Mark Harris (survey 98%, ****) seeks to unseat incumbent Richard Pittenger (****). While Harris is undoubtedly a pro-gun conservative, Pittenger\u2019s long-running 100% pro-gun voting record has earned gun voter\u2019s loyalty. GRNC-PVF recommends\u00a0<strong>ROBERT PITTENGER<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">US HOUSE DISTRICT 10 (R): Challengers Albert Wiley, Jr. (survey 88%, ***), Jeff Gregory (100%, ****), and Jeffrey Baker (survey NR, 0-star), seek to unseat incumbent Patrick McHenry (****). In addition to a perfect 100% pro-gun voting record and 98% survey average, McHenry was instrumental in passing a clean concealed handgun reciprocity bill during his tenure in the NC House. GRNC-PVF recommends\u00a0<strong>PATRICK McHENRY<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">US HOUSE DISTRICT 12 (R): In this dismal race, three mediocre (***) Republicans seek a quixotic bid to challenge one of a slew of more or less equally anti-gun Democrats in a district drawn for Dems. GRNC-PVF has no recommendation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">US HOUSE DISTRICT 13 (R): No fewer than 17 Republicans (and 5 Democrats) want this open seat. Among Republicans, 6 earned GRNC\u2019s highest 4-star evaluation based on surveys scores (Ted Budd, Kay Daly, Vernon Robinson*, Matthew McCall, Jim Snyder, David Thompson). [* Robinson also attempted to repeal Winston-Salem\u2019s ban on concealed carry in parks when on its Board of Aldermen].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Mediocre 3-star Republicans in the race include Harry Warren (86% survey, 85% vote record, ***) and John Blust (survey NR, 86% vote record). While Warren has never been a strong gun rights supporter, it\u2019s a pity that last year Blust spoiled a good pro-gun voting record by voting against gun owners 4 times on House Bill 562.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Realizing that there are several other good candidates in the race, particularly Brock, Budd and Robinson, the one who has made the strongest stand on defending the Second Amendment is Daly. Therefore, GRNC-PVF recommends\u00a0<strong>KAY DALY<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This ad supporting Robert H.
