Teller County, Colorado Sheriff Mike Ensminger Endorsed by the NRA

Ensminger receives prestigious NRA – National Rifle Association endorsement! Plans special “Meet The Sheriff” event, October 17, 2014 with Exit West performing.

 

Woodland Park, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/14/2014 --Sheriff Mike Ensminger has won the nod from the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund, the political action committee of the powerful gun rights lobby.

Ensminger is the only current candidate for Teller County Sheriff to receive this endorsement.

“Sheriff Ensminger, who recently received the endorsement from Dan May, District Attorney, 4th Judicial District as well; was selected by the NRA based on his strong support of 2nd Amendment issues,” said Mick Bates Campaign Co-Chairman.

“Actions of the Sheriff to protect our constitutional rights, speak volumes,” Bates said. “He is a man of action not just words, he puts his words into action as shown by him joining the lawsuit against the unconstitutional Colorado state gun laws, and appearing before the State legislature.”

Ensminger also commented about the key endorsement.

"It is an honor to be among the very few County Sheriffs across the nation to be endorsed by the NRA. After all the long battles in Colorado fighting to protect our right to bear arms in Teller County it is a humbling sound of support."

"Being endorsed by the NRA is a an encouragement in our continued fight against unconstitutional Colorado gun laws."

"The NRA has endorsed a limited number of County Sheriffs across our nation. I am very proud to have their endorsement and look forward to upholding my oath of office to support the Constitution of the United States and state of Colorado"
