Mark Robinson — Back on the campaign trail ???
Yep. It appears the National Rifle Association is trying to elect a new slate of board members:
[…] The nominees for election to the NRA Board in 2026 have been selected by the Nominating Committee and by petition of the membership.
The Board consists of 76 Directors. The Bylaws require that one-third of the terms of office of 75 Directors shall expire at each Annual Meeting of Members. One Director is elected for a one-year term at each Annual Meeting of Members. This Director is selected from the candidates who were not elected by the mail ballot.
The 2026 election will fill the 25 three-year terms that expire in 2029; three two-year terms that expire in 2028; and one one-year term that expires in 2027. Voting members will vote for a total of 29 candidates. The 25 candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to three-year terms; the three candidates receiving the next highest number of votes will be elected to two-year terms; and the one candidate receiving the next highest number of votes will be elected to a one-year term.
Nominations by the Nominating Committee. The Committee reviewed fifty-three candidates, including incumbents seeking re-election, members who submitted themselves for consideration or who were recommended by other NRA members, and candidates who had begun the process of seeking nomination by petition. Thirty candidates were selected.
Nominations by Petition of the Membership. Eleven people were nominated by petition (three of the eleven had already been nominated by the Nominating Committee). Each petition sponsored by an NRA member or member organization required the signatures of not less than 363 voting members.
The 2026 Ballot. Prior to the ballots being printed, two of the Nominating Committee candidates withdrew their names from consideration. A total of 38 candidates, the combined total from the Nominating Committee and petition of the members, appears on the ballot. The NRA Bylaws require the names to be rotated on the ballot. Five different ballots with five different orders of names were printed. The biographical sketches that follow were written by the individual nominees. They appear here in alphabetical order; however, the names on the ballots are in a different order because of the Bylaws requirement to rotate the order of names.
To Expedite Voting, begin by looking at the first name on the ballot. Then locate the name on the alphabetical list of biographical sketches. This procedure is much faster than reading the biographical sketch first and then trying to locate the name on a ballot NOT printed in alphabetical order. […]
Okay. Got all that?
Following the above verbiage is a list of 30 names. One of them really jumps out at you:
And at the end of the list of THIRTY NAMES is THIS gem:
Could you imagine being the ONE person who doesn’t make it onto the board?
Here’s the full biography NRA voters were given on Robinson:
Hmmm. *Not ONE mention of Nude Africa or Balanced Nutrition and its outstanding, six-figure debt to the taxpayers. *
