Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW PAC) has endorsed Rep. Charlie Melancon (D-LA) in his bid to unseat Sen. David Vitter (R-LA).
“This endorsement is based on your strong support for veterans, national security and defense, and military personnel issues,” the endorsement letter reads.
The PAC has been rebuked in recent days by its parent organization for endorsing liberal candidates including Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL).
But the Melancon endorsement is unlikely to stoke that fire. Melancon has received consistently received pretty high marks from veterans groups, while Vitter has not.
