Sullivan's False Claim
By Eric Muench
October 20, 2014
Monday PM
On Wednesday, October 15, we received a political flyer promoting candidate Dan Sullivan which claimed him to be "the only Senate candidate with an 'A' rating from the NRA" (National Rifle Association). The NRA rates political candidates with an 'A' to 'F' grade depending on their support or opposition to 2nd Amendment gun ownership rights. As a matter of fact both Mark Begich and Dan Sullivan received 'A' grades but Sullivan's was appended with a 'Q' to indicate that he had as yet no voting record on 2nd Amendment issues. Neither candidate was given an endorsement.
Anyone can access these grades on the NRA website by going to "NRA.org/PVF", then to "grades and endosements", then selecting "Alaska" and choosing "US Senate".
Dan Sullivan's claim was false and furthers the impression that he can be pretty loose with the truth. We are voting for Mark Begich.
