April 18, 2016

April 18, 2016 – Congresswoman Jackie Walorski announced that she has been endorsed by the Indiana Farm Bureau ELECT PAC, the nonpartisan political action committee associated with Indiana Farm Bureau, for the 2016 May primary.

ELECT endorsements are made through a multi-step grassroots process, starting with recommendations from Farm Bureau members who live in the district.

“We are pleased to endorse Jackie Walorski for Indiana’s second congressional district,” said Megan Ritter, director of public policy for Indiana Farm Bureau. “ELECT’s primary endorsement of Jackie Walorski is recognition of her support of policies that will foster a positive environment for agriculture and rural communities across the state.”

“Jackie Walorski understands that Indiana’s producers of food, fuel and fiber are the backbone of our state’s economy,” said Ritter. “We look forward to working with her in the 115th United States Congress.”

Walorski said, “Since my first day in Congress, I’ve been honored to have the opportunity to visit farmers across the Second District, sit at their dining room tables and tour their farms, to learn how I can best represent agriculture in Congress. It has been a privilege to be the only Hoosier to serve on the House Committee on Agriculture where I’ve had the opportunity to fight against excessive EPA regulations, protect crop insurance, and support important trade legislation that will open doors for economic growth in agriculture. I’m grateful to the Indiana Farm Bureau ELECT PAC for their endorsement.”

[In the News] Elkhart Truth: Walorski gets NRA, Susan B. Anthony List endorsements
April 13, 2016

U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski has received the endorsement of the National Rifle Association.

Tim Vandenack -

“You have consistently opposed attempts to ban lawfully owned firearms, magazines and ammunition, and have stood against President Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s gun control agenda,“ Chris Cox, chairman of the NRA’s Political Victory Fund, said in an endorsement letter to the Republican lawmaker. The letter singled out her support for concealed-carry reciprocity legislation, which would let those with concealed-carry gun permits carry their weapons in states that prohibit concealed carry. Walorski, running for her third term in elections this year, said she is ”committed to defending the Second Amendment and protecting the right to bear arms.“ Last week, Walorski received the endorsement of Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion group. Marilyn Musgrave, vice president for government affairs for Susan B. Anthony List, called Walorski ”a leading voice for unborn children and women.“ Walorski faces Jeff Petermann in the Republican primary on May 3. Two Democrats are also vying for the U.S. House seat, Douglas Carpenter and Lynn Coleman. The winners in each primary face off on Nov. 8.

April 12, 2016

National Rifle Association Political Action Fund Endorses Walorski for 2016 Primary

South Bend, Ind. - Today, Congresswoman Jackie Walorski announced that she has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) for the 2016 May primary election in Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District. The NRA-PVF’s endorsement included an “A” rating for her pro-Second Amendment voting record.

“On behalf of our five million members, we are pleased to endorse Congresswoman Jackie Walorski for reelection in the Republican primary in Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District,” said Chris W. Cox, Chairman of the NRA’s Political Victory Fund. “You have consistently opposed attempts to ban lawfully-owned firearms, magazines, and ammunition, and have stood against President Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s gun control agenda. We appreciate your vote for concealed carry reciprocity legislation that would ensure law-abiding Americans with valid concealed handgun permits would be able to carry a concealed handgun in any other state that does not prohibit concealed carry. Congratulations on your “A” rating and endorsement, and thank you for your steadfast support of the Second Amendment,” concluded Cox.

“I am grateful for this support from the NRA,” said Walorski. “From my time in the Indiana State House where I co-authored legislation for a lifetime handgun permit to my work now in the House of Representatives, I remain committed to defending the Second Amendment and protecting the right to bear arms.”
