by Wade Callender has decided to run for the NRA Board of Directors by petition. When I ran into Wade at this year’s SHOT Show he had mentioned that a run for the Board was in the back of his mind.
For those that don’t know Wade, he served as Deputy Executive Director and General Counsel of NRA-ILA for three years. Prior to that he had served as the general counsel of a software company and as a JAG officer in the US Navy. Currently, he has his own legal practice in the Dallas metro area. Wade was endorsed as a potential successor to Wayne LaPierre as EVP back in 2024 by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes. More importantly, Wade stood in the way of Bill Brewer getting his hooks into ILA’s assets.
I have known Wade on a personal basis for a few years now. He has my support. Both the Complementary Spouse and I have signed his petition. If you are a voting members – life or five year continuous annual member – please consider signing Wade’s petition.
