by The results from the 2026 NRA board election are in and the draft results have been released. The final results will be announced at the Meeting of the Members at the Annual Meeting in Houston.
As Secretary John Frazer notes in his statement accompanying the results, both the final results as well as the need to elect the 76th Director could change if someone declines a seat.
From John Frazer:
Dear Board and Executive Council members:
The draft tabulation of the NRA mail ballot election results has been received. Notices have been sent by e-mail to each candidate. The overall results are below, in rank order of votes received. The final vote tallies will be released in Houston.
Finally, as you know, there is a chance that no 76th Director election will be necessary. If any candidate declines a seat, or chooses not to run for 76th Director, or if any other vacancy occurs before the Annual Meeting, the partial-term directors will up accordingly. If that happens, we’ll send a revised list.
Please join us in congratulating these newly elected or reelected directors.

I have bolded those candidates whom I endorsed. Eleven won full three-year terms, one got a two-year term, and the other two got one-year terms.
I have also put the names of the candidates that I nominated for the Board in italics. Three – James D’Cruz, Jaci Janes, and Rob Beckman – were nominated by the Nominating Committee and all three won three year terms. The four, Todd Vandermyde, was on the ballot by petition. I am disappointed that he only won a one year term as he has brought a lot of street experience and wisdom from the trenches to the Legislative Policy Committee.
Sometimes there is no rhyme nor reason to where candidates end up on this list. Sometimes it is name recognition, sometimes it is the candidate’s private network of friends and associates, and sometimes it seems to be just plain chance.
Nonetheless, congratulations to all on this list. I look forward to working with you for the betterment of the NRA in the year or years to come.
This is the first real big test of my revised tracking system. I shall see if I can keep the seats straight. Thank you!
So the Reformers just SCRAPED BY. What is WRONG with the membership?
