The NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF), established in July 1976 as the primary political action committee (PAC) of the National Rifle Association of America (NRA), supports candidates who align with its pro-gun rights agenda through direct contributions to candidates and party committees, independent expenditures, and grassroots mobilization efforts including voter registration and volunteer coordination to advance Second Amendment protections. It endorses candidates across party lines based on their support for gun rights, using a grading system (A through F) derived from voting records, public statements, and responses to NRA-PVF questionnaires. Historically, it has overwhelmingly supported Republican candidates (e.g., 98% in recent cycles) and spent millions per election cycle on pro-gun advocacy.
