Congressional candidate Clint Didier's 'Freedom Fighters Gun Giveaway'

One candidate for an eastern Washington congressional seat has hit on a way to appeal to 2nd Amendment advocates and to increase the names on his campaign mailing list.

Congressional candidate Clint Didier's 'Freedom Fighters Gun Giveaway'

He’s offering voters a chance to win a gun.

People who give Clint Didier their name and email address will be entered to win one of three firearms. The Republican candidate for Doc Hastings’ seat is offering up two handguns and a semi-automatic rifle. Didier calls it the Freedom Fighters Gun Giveaway.

A handful of other Republican candidates across the country have used similar eye-catching sweepstakes to bolster their campaign rolls with passionate gun rights supporters. And there’s the added benefit of increased name recognition for the candidate.

Didier is a farmer in Pasco and former NFL player. He’s one of 12 candidates for Washington’s 4th Congressional District. This district stretches up the middle of the state and includes Yakima and the Tri-Cities.

Republican Doc Hastings announced in February that he wouldn’t seek re-election.
