As <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/taitnra.substack.com\/p\/nra-20-puts-19-reformers-on-the-board\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Frank Tait notes in his Substack post<\/a><\/strong>, he is fully supporting Charlie for the 76th Director. He asks that anyone considering supporting him to please support Charlie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I&#8217;ve said earlier here and elsewhere, I am disappointed that Frank Tait didn&#8217;t make the cut. He would have been a valuable addition to the Board based  upon his experience with non-profit boards, finance, and audit. As he finished 32nd in the race, two more resignations or deaths put him on the Board.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35273\" style=\"width:324px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Charlie is an attorney, lobbyist, instructor, and shooting coach. In addition, he is the President of the Indiana State Rifle &amp; Pistol Association and is the Chair-elect of the Crossroads Council BSA. He touches all the bases and I think he should be elected as the 76th Director. That he, Frank, and Todd Vandermyde didn&#8217;t make the cut greatly surprised me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t know who will be his primary opponent but I suspect it will either be Tom King or Ron Schmeits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a reminder, anyone who is a NRA member attending the Annual Meeting in Atlanta is eligible to vote for the 76th Director. I understand voting is in Room 403 on the 4th Floor of Building B of the Georgia World Congress Center which is where you pick up your credentials for the Meeting of Members. Voting closes at the conclusion of the Meeting of Members. <\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The reformers aka NRA 2.0 have coalesced on supporting Charles Hiltunen III for the 76th Director.
