FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 17, 2011

Today the National Rifle Association joined Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the Lynchburg Tea Party, Delegate Rob Bell and Bill Janis in endorsing Tom Garrett to be the next Senator from Virginia’s 22nd. The primary election in the 22nd District will be on Tuesday, August 23rd at normal polling places. The 22nd Senate district includes parts of Lynchburg and Louisa, as well as all of the counties of Goochland, Fluvanna, Buckingham, Cumberland, Prince Edward, Appomattox, Amherst, and the Town of Farmville. There is no incumbent Senator in this district, which was shifted from Roanoke area eastward due to redistricting that resulted from the 2010 Census.

“I’m very excited that the NRA has joined Ken Cuccinelli, the Lynchburg Tea Party, Rob Bell, and Bill Janis in endorsing our candidacy. The reason we earned this endorsement is that I have a record of standing up to defend the Second Amendment. As Ben Franklin said, ‘Well done is better than well said,’” Garrett said today.

Torrey Williams with the Garrett campaign added “The message to voters on August 23rd is clear, Tom Garrett is the Constitutional, Christian, Cuccinelli, Conservative in this race. His record separates him from the rhetoric of those who have never had to take a tough stand for freedom.”
