I received an official notice this morning that Dean Cain aka Superman has resigned from the NRA Board of Directors. Given that Mark Shuell was the last remaining runner-up and was seated after the last set of resignations, Cain will not be replaced and the Board is now at 75 members.
From John Frazer:
We received a resignation letter from Board member Dean Cain, effective December 31.
Because there are no more runners-up from the 2025 mail ballot, the Board will have 75 members until the Annual Meeting. However, Mr. Cain’s resignation does create an additional vacancy to be filled in this year’s election. Members will now vote to fill the following vacancies:
- Twenty-five three-year terms that expire in 2029
- Four two-year terms that expire in 2028
- Three one-year terms that expire in 2027
Please join me in thanking Mr. Cain for his service to the NRA, and wishing him well in his future projects.
The bottom line is that a total of 33 directors will be elected if you include the 76th Director from the slate of 38 nominees.
While last year I encouraged voting a full slate of candidates, this year I am reverting back to encouraging bullet voting. My rationale is that I want my most favored candidates to get the 3-year terms of office.
The other alternative is to just say who NOT to vote for. However, I prefer to stay positive.
I will start posting my endorsements for bullet voting in the coming days.
