Lt. Col. West is a former member of the NRA Board of Directors.

West now resides in Texas, has served as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.west4texas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chairman of the Texas GOP<\/a><\/strong>, and just <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2022-primary-elections\/texas-governor-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">placed second to Greg Abbott<\/a><\/strong> in the Texas GOP gubernatorial primary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The effort to draft West is led by current NRA board member Judge Phil Journey, former board members Rocky Marshall and Bill Daley, and current board candidate Frank Tait (among others). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have embedded their press release below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I received a press release today seeking to draft former Congressman Allen West (R-FL) to stand against Wayne LaPierre&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[238,6010,5058,5565,26,12,5689,27],"class_list":["post-32098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-allen-west","tag-bill-daley","tag-frank-tait","tag-judge-phillip-journey","tag-nra","tag-nra-board-of-directors","tag-rocky-marshall","tag-wayne-lapierre"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32098"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32098\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32099,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32098\/revisions\/32099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
