“Excited to once again receive the endorsement of the NRA – National Rifle Association of America with an A+ rating. Our right to keep and bear arms is nonnegotiable and I’ll always defend the 2nd Amendment in Congress. #2A #shallnotbeinfringed” – Congressman Mike Bost
MURPHYSBORO, IL– The 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, announced today that he has endorsed U.S. Rep. Mike Bost in his campaign for re-election against challenger Darren Bailey.
“Congressman Mike Bost is doing a fantastic job representing the Great People of Illinois’ 12th Congressional District. While I like and respect Darren Bailey, and was proud to campaign for him in 2022, Mike Bost was one of the first House Committee Chairmen to endorse my Campaign, and Mike was a stalwart supporter of our America First agenda during my record-setting Administration,” said President Trump. “As Chairman of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, Mike is doing an incredible job providing our Brave and Patriotic Veterans with the care they deserve. He is working hard to Secure the Border, Champion American Agriculture, Strengthen the Military, Grow the Economy, and Protect and Defend our under siege Second Amendment. Mike Bost has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”
“It is a tremendous honor to have President Trump’s full support and total endorsement of my campaign,” said Bost. “His leadership made us stronger at home and more respected across the world. I will do all I can to help put President Trump back to the White House because we are fighting for the same things: a secure our border, a strong Second Amendment, an end to the wokeness plaguing our country, and putting America First. I look forward to standing side-by-side with him in the fight to Make America Great Again once we’re both re-elected this November.”

“I have a long history with the NFIB, dating back to when my father served on the NFIB state board while running our family’s trucking company,” said Bost. “I’ve owned a small business, and I understand what it is like to sign both sides of a paycheck. I know our job creators in Southern Illinois are struggling in Joe Biden’s economy.

Bost has now been endorsed by the largest gun rights and pro-life advocacy groups in America, along with the top organizations representing Illinois’ farmers, law enforcement, and firefighters.
“As Chairman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, you are leading the effort to protect veterans from being deprived of their Second Amendment rights without due process of law. We thank you for your continued opposition to the Hakeem Jeffries and Joe Biden gun control agenda of banning lawfully-owned firearms, ammunition, and magazines,” said Randy Kozuch, Chairman of the NRA-PFV. “Thank you for defending NRA members and law-abiding gun owners in Illinois and throughout the country. Congratulations on your endorsement and thank you for your support of the Second Amendment.”
“Failed politicians will make a big show out of supporting the Second Amendment, but when push comes to shove, they never deliver. Well, that’s not Mike Bost, said Bost. “The Second Amendment is not a publicity stunt to me. From my work in Springfield, where I was the lead sponsor of Illinois’ conceal carry law, to my time in Congress, where I am standing on the frontlines against woke liberals trying to take away our guns, I will never back down. I thank the NRA and gun owners across Southern Illinois for their strong support.”
