From the Hultgren for Congress campaign (14th District)…
ST. CHARLES – The Randy Hultgren for Congress campaign issued the following statement today regarding Hultgren’s endorsement by the National Rifle Association, a national organization with more than 21,000 members in the 14th Congressional District.
“The National Rife Association is among the nation’s most respected and influential sportsmen’s organizations, and has always been an outspoken defender of our Second Amendment rights; I am proud and honored to have received their endorsement,” said Randy Hultgren. “I’ve fought to defend the Second Amendment rights of Illinoisans in Springfield, and I look forward to fighting for the Second Amendment rights of all Illinoisans in Washington, DC.”
“Randy Hultgren’s commitment to preserving our Second Amendment freedoms has earned him the NRA-PVF endorsement. Gun owners and hunters in Illinois can trust him to fight for their Second Amendment rights,” said Chris W. Cox, chairman of NRA-PVF. “On November 2, I urge those in Illinois’ 14th District to vote Randy Hultgren for Congress.”
On the Illinois Unemployment Report
The Randy Hultgren for Congress campaign issued the following statement today regarding news that unemployment in Illinois remained mired at almost 10 percent, well above the national average.
“Bill Foster’s unwavering support for Nancy Pelosi’s ‘stimulus’ and reckless spending bills has left almost 660,000 Illinoisans without work last month in communities ranging from Yorkville and Montgomery to Batavia and Elgin,” said Randy Hultgren.
“Bill Foster and Nancy Pelosi’s tax-and-spend economic program has clearly failed. 14th District residents deserve better than 600 jobs at a cost of over $400 million – they deserve someone who understands what it will take to get our economy moving and put people back to work. I know that low taxes, reasonable regulations, and an end to Washington’s anti-business ideology will give our employers and small business owners the confidence to once again hire and invest.”
