by Frank Tait has assembled the first set of candidate biographies. This is for Ken Bowra, William Askins, and Jerry Kraus.
You can read them here. I have done thumbnails of the biographies and you can read them below.
Ken Bowra is a retired Major General (Army) who commanded special forces units at all levels. He then went on to the Department of Energy as well as a serving as a diplomat in the State Department. Along the way he amassed experience in running non-profits as the president of the Virginia War Museum Foundation and as a trustee of the Special Operations Association Foundation.
William Askins is a retired USMC officer who also had experience serving with the CIA’s Clandestine Services. If the name Askins rings a bell, it is because he is the son of Col. Charles Askins and grandson of Maj. Charles Askins. More importantly for our purposes, he was a participant in the Cincinnati Revolt of 1977 and went on to serve as Harlon Carter’s executive assistant. He also served as the Deputy Director of the NRA’s publication division.
Finally, Jerry Kraus has served as an ILA Volunteer Election Coordinator over a many year period. Currently a mortgage broker, he has over 30 years of experience in sales, finance, marketing, business strategy, and development. He is an avid marksman and hunter who both competes in events like IDPA and has hunted Africa and Alaska.
