First Ad From Challenger in 2nd District Now Running.

Roll Call At the Races Blog reports this morning that Paul Hirschbiel, the Democrat challenging 2nd District first term Republican Scott Rigell, has launched his first television ad.  The ad is positive in tone and intended to introduce Hirschbiel to voters in the District. Hirschbiel is running for office for the first time, to the district.

The 2nd Congressional District is the most competitive of Virginia's 11 districts and NRA-ILA has opened a field office to help enlist gun owners to get involved in the campaign.  Rigell has been a solid supporter of the Second Amendment in his first two years in office.  While voting against the criminal contempt charge against Eric Holder in the Fast and Furious debacle, he voted in favor of the civil contempt charge.

If you live in the 2nd District, you can get involved to help elect pro-rights candidates in this election year by contacting Robert Melvin, NRA-ILA's Campaign Field Representative in Virginia Beach, at (703) 622-4455 or rbmelvin.nra@gmail.com.  The Campaign Field Office is located at 4966 Euclid Road, Suite 200, in Virginia Beach.
