NRA Board Election Ballot Vote
NRA Board Election Ballot Vote

Tombstone, Arizona – Ballots for the 2025 NRA Director election are arriving now, with voting open through March. In total, 28 seats are up for election, with about 50 people vying for those seats, including 2 write-in candidates. Those 28 seats represent slightly more than one-third of the 76-member Board, and this election has the potential to give “reformers” on the Board an overwhelming majority going forward.

In years past, I have recommended “Bullet Voting” in NRA elections, but that was when the reformers were an insurgency movement running one or two candidates against an entrenched establishment.

This year is very different as the reformers are the establishment, so this year, I am recommending that every eligible voter cast votes for a full slate of 28 candidates.

The easy, no fuss way to accomplish this is to look for the two-page ad in the middle of the magazine talking about NRA 2.0 Values and just vote for the people listed in that ad, including two write-in candidates to add on the back of the ballot.

NRA Members: Voting Matters ~ Your Votes vs Their Votes

Did you notice the short blurb in your December NRA magazine regarding a vote by the NRA Board of Directors to eliminate the Special Litigation Committee (SLC)?

It was published in the “Official Journal” section toward the back of the various magazines without any fanfare. It simply stated the motion that was voted on and listed the “Yeas and Nays”—the names of those Directors who voted for the proposal and those who voted against it.

This was an important vote that you should take special note of because NRA Board of Director elections are coming and how Directors voted on this matter is very pertinent.

During his time at NRA-ILA and afterward, one of my father, Neal Knox’s, key strategies was to push for votes on pro-rights bills in Congress and state legislatures, even when our side didn’t appear to have the votes to win. I’ve maintained the same advice over the twenty-plus years that I’ve been lobbying and advising state grassroots groups. The objective is not necessarily to win the vote, but to smoke out our opponents. Get them to go on record either supporting or opposing a proposal, then put that record in front of voters come election season.

That’s exactly what this internal BOD vote published in NRA magazines was all about.
