Ballots must be received by the end of March so if you haven&#8217;t mailed your ballot, do it now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a reminder, here are my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/?p=35964\">endorsements including a write-in for Charles Rowe of Wadsworth, Ohio<\/a><\/strong>. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kimberly.dennisrowe\/posts\/pfbid03sqNVBYgXsYjm8KfquUa4bM3ivsv5AkEsEPdtgbgfz4aBG479yU7CdDiQCqxB8ASl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chuck<\/a><\/strong> has done great work on rationalizing the competition rules and is a CPA to boot. We need both of those skills on the board. I admit I know next to nothing about the competition rules and frankly am glad someone is willing to get into the weeds of the rules. He stands a chance if people take the time to write him in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vaughan4nra.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mark Vaughan<\/a><\/strong>, our 1st VP, also should get your vote. I didn&#8217;t originally endorse him because I thought he was a given to get elected. I corrected that error in my update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One final note. Two people on the ballot &#8211; Jay Wallace and Eb Wilkinson &#8211; are also trustees of the NRA Foundation. If elected, they will have to decide where their loyalties and fiduciary duties lie. Eb, while on the ballot, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/?p=35876\">resigned in December 2025<\/a><\/strong> but has not removed himself from this year&#8217;s ballot.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought we might have been done with resignations from the NRA Board of Directors.
