Saint Paul, MN -(AmmoLand.com)- The Minnesota Gun Owners Political Action Committee today announced their endorsement of candidates in 43 Minnesota senate races.

The endorsed candidates span the state, include both challengers and incumbents, and cross party lines, demonstrating that the protection of the constitutional rights of Minnesota’s gun owners is a non-partisan issue.

 “Today, we’re proud to announce the endorsement of 40 additional candidates for state senate in Minnesota,“ said Bryan Strawser, Chair, Minnesota Gun Owners PAC. “Each of these candidates is committed to protecting our Second Amendment freedoms in Saint Paul next year.”

The 40 additional endorsements join three endorsements for state senate previously announced by the MN Gun Owners PAC.  A full list of endorsed candidates for state senate is below.

“This year, there are many races where there is a clearly defined choice between a candidate that does not respect the civil rights of gun owners, and those who do,” said Rob Doar, Political Director.  “We will be mobilizing our grassroots supporters to get gun owners to the polls in November on behalf of our endorsed candidates.”

Endorsement decisions by the Minnesota Gun Owners PAC were made after a comprehensive evaluation of each candidate, including reviewing public statements, voting records, candidate websites, and surveys completed by nearly every candidate running for office this year. Grading from other credible gun rights organizations was also taken into consideration.

“We will announce our remaining endorsements for the Minnesota House of Representatives on Wednesday, September 14th,” added Strawser.
