The VCDL PAC endorsements seem much more even handed than its prior election endorsements. They seem to be based primarily upon the candidate surveys. Still we have to wonder why the only Very Pro Gun rated candidate in the Senate that was not endorsed was the Libertarian.
The most striking part of the survey result is how few candidates actually answered the VCDL survey.
Here is a link to the Survey results:
