From electanewnra.com:

We are NRA members running for the 2025 Board of Directors and we are ready to meet the challenges facing us head-on and secure the future of the NRA. We are concerned about the status quo of the organization and the internal issues impacting our mission. Membership has been demanding a change and we are ready, willing, and able to make that change.

We believe the governing of the NRA should be based on integrity and transparency. We are dedicated to the fight and challenges that lie ahead, and we are committed. We are here to serve the members. To do that though, we need your help. You MUST VOTE!

If you are a voting member of the NRA, you will receive your 2025 ballot in mid-January in one of the above NRA publications. On that ballot are 49 candidates running for a seat on the Board of Directors. Only 28 of the 49 are supporters of NRA 2.0. (Click on the SLC page and find out who voted to move the NRA forward and who voted to keep the NRA the way it is.) We need YOU to VOTE for all 28 of us candidates.
