The National Rifle Association, as well as the Buckeye Firearms Association, has endorsed state Sen. Steve Austria (R-Beavercreek) in the race for Ohio's 7th Congressional district.
Austria is running against attorney Sharen Neuhardt (D-Yellow Springs) to replace retiring U.S. Rep. David Hobson (R-Springfield) in the seat.
In addition, Austria's legislative record in the Ohio statehouse earned him an "A" grade from the NRA's Political Victory Fund.
In accepting the endorsement, Austria said that protecting second amendment rights has always been a top priority of his.
