The NRA has officially endorsed Brent Jackson, a farmer and N.C. Agribusiness Council member,  who is running for North Carolina Senate out of district 10.  The NRA promotes firearm and hunting safety and educates the general public about firearms in their many contexts.

Mr. Jackson received his endorsement because of his commitment to defend and foster the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding citizens. “The NRA-PVF is endorsing Brent Jackson because he is a strong defender of the Second Amendment freedoms of law-abiding gun owners, hunters and sportsmen in North Carolina,” said Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA Political Victory Fund. “On November 2, I urge all NRA members and gun owners in the 10th Senate District to vote Brent Jackson for North Carolina Senate.”

The race between Mr. Jackson and Mr. Hudson has received increased media exposure in the past couple of weeks due to the slanderous mailers Mr. Hudson has been sending to voters. The mailers accuse Mr. Jackson of hiring illegal immigrants to work on his farm, which is not based on any truth. Mr. Hudson has also taken his false message to the TV and radio airwaves
