Augusta, Maine (September 26, 2012) – Representative Matthew
Peterson was pleased to learn today of the endorsement by the National Rife
Association of America (NRA) in the State House District 92 race for the 2012

based on your record of support on Second Amendment legislation while serving
in the Maine State Legislature.”
“I am thrilled to receive the endorsement of the NRA in my
run for reelection to continue serving the constituents of District 92,” stated
Representative Peterson. “The Oxford and Franklin counties that comprise
District 92 are filled with law-abiding gun owners and I’m pleased that my
record reflects the support that these individuals deserve to exercise their
right to keep and bear arms.”
