Buckeye Firearms Association PAC Endorses Joy Padgett

Buckeye Firearms Association is proud to announce that our Political Action Committee has endorsed Joy Padgett for Republican State Central Committee for the 31st Senate district in the May 8, 2018 primary election.

The State Central Committee is the governing power of the Ohio Republican Party. It recruits and endorses candidates for federal and state offices.

"To ensure we continue to restore our rights, we need true friends of gun owners sitting as State Central Committee members," said Jim Irvine, BFA-PAC Chairman.

"Joy Padgett has been described as the 'Mother of concealed carry' in Ohio. Joy has a proven record defending and restoring our Second Amendment rights. Simply put, we would not be where we are today without Joy Padgett's leadership on concealed carry and restoration of Second Amendment rights."

Padgett's opponent is long-time party establishment member Betty Montgomery. Said Irvine, "Montgomery fails every proud gun owner. She needs to be removed from the leadership of the Ohio Republican Party.

"It is vital that we have strong supporters of the 2nd Amendment on state central committee who will support good candidates. We need to fill Central Committee with people who will support freedom and Second Amendment rights. We need to elect Joy Padgett."

Buckeye Firearms Association urges those who live in the 31st district, or have family or friends who do, to support Joy Padgett for Republican Central Committee in the May 8 primary election.

The district comprises Coshocton, Licking, Perry, Tuscarawas counties and most of Holmes county.
