Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund Endorses Mike Turner for OK-05

(Springfield, VA) – Today, Gun Owners of America, a proven champion of the U.S. Constitution and the right to keep and bear arms, announced its endorsement of state Rep. Mike Turner as he runs for Oklahoma’s Fifth Congressional District.

“We’re proud to announce our support of Mike Turner in Oklahoma,” said Tim Macy, Vice-Chairman of the organization.

“Time and time again, Mike has proven that he’s an unwavering conservative champion of the 2nd Amendment. He has a record of standing up for our freedom and liberty, and will roll up his sleeves to defend our rights.”

During his service in the Oklahoma Legislature, Mike Turner has even taken on members of his own party, including the governor of Oklahoma. Just this month, his bill to safeguard the rights of law-abiding gun owners became law in spite of a veto from Gov. Fallin.

“For the first time in 50 years, a GOP governor in Oklahoma had a veto overridden. It was the first override of a non-abortion issue in 30 years and the first time in over 30 years an Oklahoma governor was overridden by a majority held by the same party,” Macy explained.

“Mike Turner made that happen. He’s been in the trenches, fighting for our rights, and he’s made history doing so.”

The Republican Primary for Oklahoma’s Fifth Congressional District will be held on June 24th.
