Among the 91 candidates receiving donations from Gun Sense in September were state Rep. John Moran, D-Wardsboro, and state Sens. Bill Doyle, R-Washington, and Jeanette White, D-Windham, all of whom boast an A rating or better, according to the NRA Political Victory Fund website. Doyle, who carries an A+ rating, received $300 from Gun Sense. White and Moran, who have A ratings, received $500 and $100, respectively. “We know for certain that there are candidates who got a check who are not in support of (Gun Sense’s) agenda,” said Evan Hughes, vice president of the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs Hughes said in an email that some candidates had no idea why they received the donations. He suggested those individuals could return the money or perhaps “endorse the check over to a local fish and game club, where the funds would get put to good use.” At least one lawmaker so far has refused the money.
