MINNESOTA GUN OWNERS POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
ENDORSES JULIANNE ORTMAN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR
SAINT PAUL, MINN. DECEMBER 30 – The Minnesota Gun Owners Political Action Committee today announced their endorsement of State Senator Julianne Ortman (R-Chanhassen) for United States Senator.
“Throughout her time in the Minnesota Senate, Julianne Ortman has been an energetic and consistent advocate for Minnesota’s gun owners, “ said Mark Okern, Chairman, Minnesota Gun Owners PAC. “She has demonstrated a strong commitment to policies that protect the rights of Minnesotans to hunt, enjoy the shooting sports, and protect their families from violent criminals.”
As a Minnesota State Senator, Julianne Ortman consistently opposed gun control measures that would have impacted the rights of law-abiding Minnesotans while having no impact on violent criminals. Senator Ortman supported the Minnesota Citizen’s Personal Protection Act in 2003 and 2005. She also supported Stand Your Ground legislation in 2012 that was later vetoed by Governor Mark Dayton. Most recently, she was a strong and vocal advocate for gun owners as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee during several days of hearings.
“As United States Senator, we are confident Julianne Ortman will continue her strong support for Minnesota’s gun owners and be a leader on this issue not only for Minnesota but also for the nation, “ said Okern.
“I’m pleased to receive the endorsement of the Minnesota Gun Owners Political Action Committee, as I believe strongly that the Second Amendment protects a meaningful, individual, right to keep and bear arms, “ said Republican United States Senate Candidate Julianne Ortman. “Through their grassroots and political efforts, the Minnesota Gun Owners PAC is an invaluable resource and advocate for Minnesota’s law-abiding gun owners in the political process. I look forward to working with them in the upcoming election.”
