Congresswoman Claudia Tenney of New York's 24th District has been recognized by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) for her efforts in defending Second Amendment rights. The NSSF Congressional Report Card evaluates elected officials based on their support for law-abiding firearm owners and their defense of Second Amendment rights during the 118th Congress.

The grading criteria include voting records, co-sponsorships, committee involvement, floor speeches, and other official actions. Tenney's inclusion on the Dean's List reflects her 100% alignment with NSSF priorities and full co-sponsorship of all scored bills.

"As a Constitutional Conservative, safeguarding the Second Amendment has always been one of my top priorities in Congress," said Congresswoman Tenney. "I remain steadfast in opposing any efforts to strip law-abiding Americans of their constitutional freedoms. I am honored to receive this prestigious ranking from the NSSF, and I am committed to continuing my work to defend the Second Amendment for all law-abiding Americans."

Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President for Government & Public Affairs and General Counsel, stated: "The 2024 NSSF Congressional Report Card is a comprehensive analysis of our elected representatives’ positions on firearm and ammunition industry priorities in the 118th Congress. The Report Card’s grades are based on key votes, co-sponsorships, committee activity, floor speeches, and other official actions by Senators and Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Members of our industry are grateful to have so many strong allies in the Halls of Congress."

Keane further added: "NSSF is proud to especially recognize Representative Tenney as a member of the new NSSF Congressional Dean’s List for her exemplary leadership in supporting the firearm and ammunition industry and the nearly 400,000 hardworking Americans employed in the industry. Making the Dean’s List is special recognition that Rep. Tenney has gone above and beyond to protect and preserve the Second Amendment rights of her constituents and the industry that makes the exercise of those rights possible. We applaud Rep. Tenney for her exemplary level of support."

Earlier this year, Tenney released her Second Amendment plan detailing her legislative accomplishments and future goals to safeguard these rights.
