ANOTHER MAJOR ENDORSEMENT FOR SAMUELIAN

National Rifle Association Latest to Join Long List of Samuelian Supporters

(Sacramento, CA) - The National Rifle Association (NRA) today announced its endorsement of Assemblyman Steve Samuelian in his re-election campaign. The NRA endorsement is crucial to success in Republican primary elections all across California, and this major boost to the Samuelian campaign is further evidence that Samuelian is dominating the 29th Assembly District contest. Despite numerous attempts by Samuelian's challenger opponents to gain the NRA's support, the organization chose to strongly support Samuelian.

"Assemblyman Steve Samuelian has helped lead the fight in the State Assembly for the Second Amendment and the rights of gun owners, hunters and sportsmen. We are proud to endorse Steve's re-election and will be very involved in his campaign," said Ed Worley, California Liaison for the National Rifle Association.

Samuelian strategist Chris Wysocki said, "This level of early support from so many major groups shows extremely formidable force. Steve Samuelian has endorsements rolling in every day from Republican leaders to important organizations like the NRA. Today's endorsement carries with it thousands of votes in the overwhelmingly conservative 29th Assembly District." Wysocki continued, "Running in a Republican Primary without the support of the NRA in this district is a tremendously difficult position to be in. Because Samuelian has the whole hearted support of the NRA, it will be very tough for anyone to challenge Steve's candidacy."

The NRA endorsement adds to a long list of recent endorsements for Samuelian, including Assembly Republican Leader Dave Cox, Assembly Republican Caucus Chairman Tony Strickland, Assemblyman Ray Haynes, the Fresno Republican Assembly, the National Tax Limitation Committee PAC, Republican National Committeewoman Barbara Alby, and many others.

Steve Samuelian was first elected in 2002, where he defeated his Primary opponent by over 13 points and rode to a landslide victory in the General Election. For more information, please visit www.SteveSamuelian.com.

Doing fine, Saundra. Thank you. How are you doing? Looks like you and Lager are busy with the next elections. Good Luck and Have fun!

[Saundra Duffy]

Looks like you and Lager are busy with the next elections.

Yep. Unfortunately, Samuelian is being challenged in the primary, if you can believe that; so much of our volunteer hours will be spent defending a seat REPUBLICANS ALREADY OWN. Sheeeeesh!

Lager and I are doing very well. The upstairs apt has carpeting in kitchen (yes we have a kitchen now!) and carpeting in the living room area, too. Meanwhile, the bathroom has REAL MARBLE. Can you believe it?
