The NRA has endorsed Brad Little for Governor, Scott Bedke for Lt. Governor, Lawrence Wasden for Attorney General, and Bryan Smith for Congress.

Endorsements from the NRA come through the NRA-Political Victory Fund. The organization also rates each candidate in the race.

For Governor, the NRA had the following ratings:

Brad Little: A+ Janice McGeachin: A Ed Humphreys: AQ Cody Usabel: AQ Ashley Jackson: AQ Ben Cannady: AQ Steve Bradshaw: ? Lisa Marie: ?

For the Lt. Governor’s race, here are the NRA’s ratings:

Scott Bedke: A+ Priscilla Giddings: A Daniel Gasiorowski: ?

In the Attorney General’s race, the NRA has the following ratings:

Lawrence Wasden: A Raul Labrador: A Art Macomber: AQ

Finally, for the 2nd Congressional District race, the NRA posted these ratings for each of the candidates:

I'm absolutely disgusted with the NRA. These are people are the ones that need to GO!

[TexasGurl24]

The NRA always has had a policy of giving a + to the incumbent who has voted in favor of gun rights over people who have not yet been in the office but answered correctly on the survey.

The NRA views incumbency as the tiebreaker between two A rated candidates.

Agreed. Idaho actually has a swamp and these are the creatures in it. Things like this are why I never give money to the NRA.

[Nextrush]

The NRA is RINO astroturf.

[Seaplaner]

I like both Little and McGeachin.

Sometimes the RINO term is used a bit too freely. I'll vote for Little tomorrow, and McGeachin if she wins the primary.

Some fellow Idahoans hereabouts disagree, I respect your opinion, perhaps you will respect mine.

[Disambiguator]

All RINOs and career politicians. Hard pass.

[Robert DeLong]

While I respect your opinion, I reject your statement. RINOs are a major problem in this nation, from Federal, State down to the local politics. They always help the opposition, not their constituents, because moderates always want to go along to get along with the opposition. How has that worked out for us so far?

[Myrddin]

I'm ready for more conservative choices in Idaho. McGeachin/Giddings/Labrador/Smith. Little failed to support protection from vaxx mandates. Bedke sat on multiple favorable gun laws and support red flag legislation. Wasden sat on sidelines for multiple critical issues. Simpson has no spine on dealing with protecting 2nd amendment rights. If we can improve the candidates on the Republican side, we'll have fewer RINOs in office. The primary is the only time we have to make improvements.

[Robert DeLong]

True dat, or should say, I will take your word regarding your state political situation. Hard enough to follow what goes on in my state to be honest. 🙂

[OneVike]

While I'm an Idahoan now, and while I do respect your opinion, I must say, I respectfully disagree with it.

After living in California for over 30 years, I watched how men like Little and his cohorts stopped good conservatives from getting elected, yet sat back without lifting so much as a complaint, thus they allowed the Democrats to take over California, because they had no moral core. Like the Republican national party, their incumbency, power, and money in their bank account from foreign countries tries like China, matters more than the freedom of the citizens.

Mind you, the Governor, both Senators, and most elected Republican in Idaho sat back and allowed the election to be stolen from Trump. They sat back without whispering even a complaint, but instead watched the American people get stabbed in the back, all because they wanted Trump out of the picture. Hell one Idaho Senator is a Mormon who is controlled by the Mormon Church, and we know the type of Republicans the Mormon Church supports, (Romney, Lee, etc. etc. etc.)

I watched this type of crap going one with establishment types of Republicans in 1996, when in California they Allowed B-1 Bob's (Bob Dornan) House seat to be stolen by Loretta Sanchez. Bob had all he needed to prove that the election was illegally stolen from him. Yet the Republican establishment In California and even Newt Gingrich and the House leadership refused to help him. Mind you, we owned the House and Senate, and they refused to step in. Since then we know how the left perfected their ability top steal election after election, because the ensconced Republican establishment never fights to win. They fight for stalemate.

They stole an election from a patriot conservative, and now I see the same type of republican sitting back watching. as the left turns the burners up a notch at a times to lull the frogs into a comfortable quagmire of crap.

One day, Republicans like Little will sell us out completely, but by then the lefties moving to Boise will have complete control of this state and people like you will be wondering WTH happened.

Now is the time to replace the establishment, because the blood is fresh and our nostril can smell the raw meat. If we do not do so now, we may not get another chance like this. There has never been a better time to clean house. Paint every establishment RINO who failed to support Trump, and us in our, time of need. Or one day we will regret we didn't grab the bull by the horns and ride that bay into November.

In the end I have no disagreement with you I think the RINO’S like Little will let Chinese factories sprout up and the list goes on.

There must be a willingness to elect as many Trump’s or Ammon Bundy’s Rand Paul’s etc. etc. anyone but the Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell conventional politicians.

Ammon.l Bundy is an open borders guy

I will not support him

He is more interested in cheap labor for fathers than the good of the country

Other than that I like him, but look at his history he was against Trump. Order policy

[OneVike]

Oops, I am on my phone and didn’t realize it changed my word for farmers to fathers

Now it’s fixed

Ammon Bundy is an open borders guy

I will not support him

He is more interested in cheap labor for farmers than the good of the country

Other than that I like him, but look at his history he was against Trump. Order policy

The open border policy is probably the main culprit that sucked California Republicans into what they did

They also liked the cheap labor for farmers

Well now the stare is controlled by democrats and the farming industry is all but shut down thanks to the democrats and their environmental policies of refusing water for the farmers

Bundy gets what he wants and in 20 years Idaho will most define you be screwed , and Bundy will be another old man who helped screw the country with his greedy idea of open border policies

[Nextrush]

Regardless I don’t think he’s a Communist Chinese money guy Trump is no open borders guy but he also reminded his audience Friday night in Pennsylvania about how friendly “Conservative Republicans” are to Communist China as in Senator Pat Toomey outgoing and David McCormick who wants to be our new senator here.

China is nuclear power and a financial power and who is resisting that power.

Brad Little and his ilk sure aren’t.

[Robert DeLong]

Very well stated. Kudos to you. 🙂

[The Old Hoosier]

This is correct.

VOTE LABRADOR FOR AG.

[chingatchgook]

Liberal Troll

[chingatchgook]

It’s the same tired, old mantra parroted by the liberal left – the NRA is RINO, evil, communist…. whatever BS term floats their boat. The NRA remains the most powerful pro 2nd Amendment organization extant. If you cannot comprehend that or are merely a lib-dim troll trying to stir the pot, BUZZ OFF!

[AlaskaErik]

I trust the NRA about as much as I trust Hillary.
