“I am proud to have the support and endorsement of a lot of folks, particularly proud to have the endorsement for reelection from our great governor, Gov. Greg Abbott,” Paddie said. “I am also honored to be endorsed and “A” rated by the NRA and the Texas State Rifle Association for my stance on the Second Amendment.
