GOA Endorses Stacy Garrity for Governor and Jason Richey for Lt. Governor

Stacy Garrity and Jason Richey are the Gun Owners’ Choice Candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor

The Second Amendment is on the ballot this November—and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

For years, Governor Josh Shapiro has waged a relentless campaign against the rights of law-abiding gun owners. From his time as Attorney General to his current role in the Governor’s mansion, Shapiro has made one thing clear: he will prioritize gun control over your God-given freedoms every single time.

Josh Shapiro’s Record: Anti-Gun, Anti-Freedom

Josh Shapiro hasn’t just talked about gun control—he’s acted on it.

  • Unilaterally ended concealed carry reciprocity with Virginia while serving as Attorney General
  • Pushed for bans on so-called “ghost guns” and backed legislation like HB 777
  • Advocates for so-called “universal background checks,” a scheme that would criminalize private firearm transfers of long guns
  • Supports Red Flag Gun Confiscation Orders that strip citizens of their rights without due process
  • Re-established and funded the Office of Gun Violence Prevention—another taxpayer-funded vehicle for gun control activism
  • Targeted gun shows and attempted to redefine 80% receivers as firearms

Let’s not mince words: Josh Shapiro would sign every single piece of anti-gun legislation that reaches his desk.

And with control of the Pennsylvania General Assembly hanging by a thread, gun owners simply cannot afford four more years of the Shapiro agenda.

The Clear Choice: Stacy Garrity and Jason Richey

If we’re going to stop the erosion of our Second Amendment rights, we must elect leaders who will fight for them—not compromise them away.

Stacy Garrity for Governor

A retired U.S. Army Reserve colonel, decorated combat veteran, and current State Treasurer, Stacy Garrity understands what it means to take an oath—and uphold it. She has consistently stood against government overreach and is committed to defending the constitutional rights of every Pennsylvanian.

Jason Richey for Lieutenant Governor

A strong and unapologetic defender of individual liberty, Jason Richey is ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Garrity to roll back burdensome regulations and restore respect for the Second Amendment in Harrisburg.

Both candidates earned a perfect 100% rating on their 2026 GOA candidate surveys.

But they’re not just promising to stop bad legislation—they’re committed to advancing pro-gun reforms, including Constitutional Carry and strengthening Pennsylvania’s firearms preemption laws.

They’ve Made Their Positions Clear

Stacy Garrity:

The right to keep and bear arms protects far more than just the ability to own a firearm. It safeguards a fundamental freedom that is at the core of not just the U.S. Constitution, but the Pennsylvania Constitution. The Pennsylvania constitution states that the right to bear arms “shall not be questioned,”…

Jason Richey:

The right to keep and bear arms protects an individual’s right to possess firearms to protect themselves, their property and their rights. Second Amendment rights are being infringed in Pennsylvania by Philadelphia and other municipalities who attempt to impose gun control ordinances in violation of state law, proposed new restrictions that target law abiding Pennsylvanians, and the Pennsylvania Instant Check System’s record of sale requirement.

The choice for gun owners is clear.

If you want to protect your Second Amendment rights—and roll back the damage already done—you must act.
