On January 4, 5 and 6, 2008 the Nevada Republican Assembly held a Presidential Endorsing Convention in Reno, Nevada. On Saturday they held a Presidential rally where each of the campaigns presented their candidate and the issues they stand for. The organization also held a Straw Poll for those who attended the rally. Congressman Hunter came in 3rd place in the straw poll behind Ron Paul and John McCain.
On Sunday, the NVRA met to vote on the candidate that their organization would endorse for President in 2008. This organization has one of the largest concentrations of conservative Republicans in it’s membership. They uphold the principles of supporting our constitution, limited government, love of God, state sovereignty, controlled spending, sanctity of life, parental rights, protection of private property, 2nd amendment rights, security of our borders, fair trade, educational excellence, and fair and equal taxation rights.
The NVRA held a series of votes to reach their choice for endorsement of Congressman Duncan Hunter for President in 2008. Duncan Hunter had a clear lead throughout all 5 rounds of voting. In order for the assembly to reach a final decision for the endorsement, the candidate had to have a 2/3 majority vote. Duncan Hunter won that endorsement over Fred Thompson with more than the 2/3 required. Hunter’s clear, consistent conservative message has resonated with residents in Nevada.
Michael Kressler, President of the NVRA along with members of the organization are proud to endorse Duncan Hunter for President in 2008. Duncan Hunter has proven that he is a viable candidate and will represent the people who need a President that is honest and true and will facilitate change in the right direction for our nation.

Harry Reid is saddened.
Guess this means he’s still in? LOL
Lynne Hunter, Jan. 5, 2007, “Don’t let the press pick your candidate”
Smart words from the smart lady who is Mrs. Duncan Hunter.

AMES, Iowa — Mike Huckabee played bass for much of the morning with his rock-and-roll band “Capitol Offense,” taking the stage at one point with an Elvis impersonator and Lynn Hunter, the wife of his rival for
the Republican nomination, Representative Duncan Hunter, to sing Johnny B. Goode.
“Is Elvis with you Lynn?” he asked?
“I’m afraid so,” she said. “He’s voting for Hunter.”

Lots of Hunter photos:

Good for him! Duncan Hunter could unite the GOP.
Thanks for finding this and posting the thread. In my vain search for it last night I did come across the Missouri Republican Assembly endorsement. Not sure when that happened though and it may be old news by now.
More good news!

Good news!
“Good for him! Duncan Hunter could unite the GOP.”
Hunter appeals to the common sense of most factions.
Interesting Fact
In his district, he consistently gets over 60% of the Hispanic vote and nearly 70% of the Democratic vote.
