NRA-PVF has included explanations on why they endorsed Rep. Larry Kissell (D-8) and Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-7). You can see that on the NRA-PVF webpage from the link above.<\/p>\n<p>The one quibble I have with these grades is in the 11th Congressional District which just so happens to be my district. I don&#8217;t disagree with no endorsement nor do I disagree with the grade of AQ for Republican Mark Meadows. I do disagree with the grade of A for Democrat Hayden Rogers given that he has never held elective office. It is my opinion that it should be an AQ just like Mark Meadows. Rogers had served as Chief of Staff to Rep.
