Tim Michels is attempting to deceive voters.





Tim Michels Lied About NRA Endorsement

Rebecca Kleefisch receives A rating from the NRA



Tim Michels’ campaign is lying to conservative voters by touting an
endorsement from the National Rifle Association that does not exist. Amail
piece sent by the campaign alleged Michels was endorsed by the NRA
<[link removed]>. The NRA stated
on record that they had made no endorsements in the Wisconsin governor's race.



The truth is that Tim Michels was caught lying to Wisconsin voters, and now
he’s desperately trying to cover his tracks. Add this to the laundry list of
mistakes Michels is running away from like opposing right-to-work legislation
and trying to increase Wisconsin’s gas tax.



As a sportsman herself, Rebecca Kleefisch is a proven, trusted advocate for
gun owners and 2nd Amendment rights. She is proud to have an A rating from the
NRA. She's the only proven conservative running for governor and she's asking
for your vote on August 9.

:Michels’ campaign sent out a flyer that landed in mailboxes Saturday that
claimed the gun advocacy grouphad endorsed him. Scott Meyer, a Wisconsin
lobbyist who has done work for the NRA, said the group hasn’t endorsed anyone
in the GOP primary and doesn’t plan to do so.



“All this came out of the blue,” Meyer said of the flyer. “Stunned is the best
word to describe it. I’ve never seen this before.”



Wisconsin Right Now
<[link removed]>:
<[link removed]> Was Michels
endorsed by the NRA, as he claims in the direct mail piece? The answer is no,
according to the NRA.



We contacted the national NRA press office on July 17 and were given this
response, from Scott Jones, NRA Wisconsin state director: “The NRA Political
Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) has not made any endorsements for the 2022 Wisconsin
gubernatorial primary.”



Michels’ flyer says he was endorsed by the “NRA-ILA,” however the NRA told us
that the NRA-ILA doesn’t make endorsements ever; the NRA-PVF does, and it has
not made an endorsement in the Wisconsin governor’s primary, as noted.



“All grades and endorsements go through NRA-PVF,” the NRA told Wisconsin Right
Now.



Conservative voters care about gun rights and NRA endorsements so we felt that
readers had a right to know this information.
