Dan Beiser

Hunting and lawful gun ownership have always been important issues for our community. I’m a hunter and conceal and carry permit holder, and it’s important to me that state leaders in our area will fight for our Second Amendment rights.

That’s why I’m supporting Dan Beiser’s campaign for state representative.

Dan is an advocate for gun owners in the metro-east. He has a perfect voting record with the National Rifle Association, and was a cosponsor of the bill that has become Illinois’ conceal and carry law.

Gun owners in our area follow the law, and we need a strong leader who will do whatever it takes to protect those rights. Dan will stand up to Chicago extremist politicians that try to stomp on our gun rights.

I hope you’ll join me in supporting Dan Beiser in the upcoming general election Nov. 8 to ensure our area continues to have an advocate for the 2nd Amendment.

Steve Huch, East Alton
