In anticipation of the upcoming November General Election, the Montana Shooting Sports Association (MSSA) has unveiled its highly anticipated 2024 candidate grades and endorsements, aimed at guiding pro-gun voters in their choices at the polls.
MSSA has given Chief Justice candidate Jeremiah Lynch an F rating. The group endorsed Lynch’s opponent, Broadwater County Attorney Cory Swanson.
Each candidate’s grade, issued by MSSA, reflects their stance and commitment to upholding the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (RKBA). The ratings are meticulously derived from a comprehensive analysis that includes tracking legislative votes and evaluating candidate responses to MSSA’s questionnaires. Incumbents’ grades are informed by their historical voting records, while new candidates were assessed based on their responses to MSSA’s questionnaire. Candidates without a voting record or questionnaire response were marked with a “?” indicating uncertainty regarding their stance on RKBA.
