The full report from the Michigan State Police can be found online HERE. MCRGO-PAC Candidate Ratings A reminder that tomorrow is Michigan's regular August Primary Election. Polls are open from 7 AM to 8 PM. Voters will be selecting their party's candidates for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, State House, county and local races, as well as some local ballot issues. We published MCRGO-PAC ratings four weeks ago in the Summer 2024 edition of On Target for absentee voters and then again two weeks ago for early voters. MCRGO-PAC ratings have been updated online with late survey submissions. NRA-PVF ratings are also available online. We provide them here as a guide to help gun owners cast informed votes. You are welcome to contact us at [email protected] with questions about the MCRGO-PAC rating for a candidate in your district. The lack of a rating for a candidate means that candidate did not return a survey. MCRGO-PAC ratings can be found HERE. NRA-PVF ratings can be found HERE.
