NRA Political Victory Fund Endorses Shelton in HD 97 Runoff
Fort Worth, Texas – Today Mark Shelton, Republican candidate for District 97 State Representative, received the endorsement of the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF).
“Mark Shelton is the right choice in this runoff election,” Chris W. Cox, Executive Director and Chairman of NRA-PVF stated. “He is a champion for gun owners and a strong supporter of the Second Amendment,” Cox continued.

“Our Second Amendment rights are an integral part of the freedom and liberty we enjoy as United States citizens,” Shelton said. “The National Rifle Association deserves our gratitude for working day-in and day-out to protect our right to keep and bear arms, and I am honored to have their support in this election” he concluded.
