The National Rifle Association has endorsed U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall in his 8th Congressional race against challenger Rick Goddard.

"He has a 100 percent voting record with the NRA, and he has co-sponsored a lot of NRA priority bills and he's just great on our issues," NRA spokeswoman Ashley Varner said.

Marshall has an "A" rating from the NRA, and the association also endorsed him in his last race in 2006. Goddard, a retired Warner Robins Air Logistics Center commander, also is rated an "A" by the association, which tends to favor incumbents.
