NRA Backs Greg Vital For House District 29 Seat

  • Wednesday, August 18, 2021
The National Rifle Association (NRA) announced its endorsement of Greg Vital for Tennessee’s House District 29 "because of his long-standing commitment to the Second Amendment, public lands and the outdoors."

NRA State Director for Tennessee, Matt Herriman, said, “Greg Vital has proven as a private citizen that he is committed to the 2nd Amendment and is a strong outdoorsman having recently received the Tennessee Wildlife Federation's Conservationist of the Year award.
We look forward to Greg winning this special election and joining the members of the Tennessee General Assembly who have continued to prove their unwavering support of the 2nd Amendment.” 

Mr. Vital said, “With relentless attacks from the radical Left, we must stand strong for all of our constitutional rights, especially the Second Amendment. Mike Carter worked tirelessly to defend our constitutional rights, and Joan has followed in his footsteps. As the recipient of the Tennessee Wildlife Federation’s Conservationist of the Year award, Tennessee Land Trust Chairman and an avid outdoorsman, I am honored to be endorsed by the NRA. I will always fight to defend the Second Amendment and the rights of law-abiding Tennesseans to protect themselves.”

The General Election for Tennessee’s House District 29 is on Sept. 14, and early voting begins on Aug. 25 and runs through Sept. 9.
