CHICAGO, Jan. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by the ISRA Fed-PAC:

The ISRA Fed-PAC is pleased to announce its list of endorsed and preferred candidates in the 2010 Illinois Primary Election.  Selections were made based on an analysis of candidate voting records, public statements, and stated positions on issues important to law-abiding Illinois gun owners.  Candidates chosen for endorsement typically have long and proven records of support for our issues.  Candidates given "preferred" status typically do not have adequate length of service to be endorsed, but have demonstrated that they share our organization's traditional view of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  Races in which ISRA Fed-PAC has shown no preference do not appear below.

Judge Donald Lowery was selected as the Preferred Candidate for U.S. Senate.  Judge Lowery is a long-time friend of the Illinois hunter and sportsman.
