by In what should not surprise anyone, voting participation in the NRA Board of Directors election has dropped by almost half since 2019. That year the percentage of members voting was 5.95% which is not that great in and of itself. In 2024, it was 3.16%. Over that same time period membership in the NRA has dropped by almost two million members.
We have 27 days left in which to reverse this trend and to elect the NRA 2.0 slate of candidates. Ballots must be received by April 6th. Given that April 6th is a Sunday, I’m am thinking a day or so earlier is the absolute cut-off for your ballot to be received.
Given everything that has been revealed since the 2019 Annual Meeting in Indianapolis, it is no wonder that members have left and voting has dropped off. This year is our chance to reverse the voting trend, clean house, and give the NRA a chance to regain its strength. By cleaning house, I mean defeating those who stood by while Wayne and company were merrily grifting away. The old guard, the Friends of Wayne, the cabal, or whatever you want to call them have stood in the way of change and are trying to get elected on the basis of old, sometimes very old, accomplishments. Their time is past.
Now it is time to elect those who stand for accountability, integrity, and, most of all, transparency.
