Primary Election Candidate Guide |
What the Ratings mean: |
|
The NHFC is pleased to offer this Primary
Election Guide for selected Executive Council, County Sheriff, County
Attorney, State Senate and
Representative races. Only those races (GOP or Democrat) in which there
is an active primary are contained in this guide. These
grades are the result
of each candidate’s answers to an extensive questionnaire and any
available voting records.
In addition, we may also use any other
reliable information regarding a candidate’s views on Second Amendment
issues. Candidates who received a “?” and would to like receive a
rating for the General Election may
download a questionnaire by clicking here.
The NHFC, Inc. hopes that you will find this
information useful when you vote in our state’s Primary Elections on
September 12th.
