NRA 2.0: A Message from Jim Wallace
2025 NRA Board Elections – A Critical Step Forward
We’ve overcome incredible challenges to get the NRA back on track, and with NRA 2.0, we are stronger, more transparent, and more committed to serving our members than ever before. To continue this momentum, this year’s NRA Board of Directors elections are crucial for shaping the future of the organization.
As an NRA board member, I want to provide some background on how far we’ve come and where we’re headed. Last January, a historic change occurred: Wayne LaPierre resigned, closing a tumultuous chapter in the NRA's history. While his contributions to building the NRA were significant at one time, the financial and organizational turmoil of his final years caused immense damage. Under his leadership, millions were spent on legal fees, and accountability to members was severely undermined.
In response, a small but determined group of board members, including myself, came together to lay the foundation for change. We called for transparency, accountability, and a clear path forward. Initially met with resistance, we united under the vision of NRA 2.0, driven by our belief that the organization could once again serve its members with integrity and purpose.
At the 2024 Annual Meeting, members expressed their frustrations and rejected proposals that lacked proper evaluation, such as the move to relocate the NRA to Dallas. Following that meeting, our group worked tirelessly, strategizing and coordinating efforts to ensure meaningful leadership changes.
The results were transformative:
In the past year, we’ve made tremendous strides. We’ve navigated the costly New York Attorney General’s lawsuit and implemented changes to ensure such challenges are handled more effectively in the future. Board meetings are now dynamic, solution-focused sessions where open debate and member-focused resolutions take center stage.
However, there is still work to be done. The 2025 Board elections offer a pivotal opportunity to solidify the progress we’ve made. By electing dedicated, independent board members who prioritize the needs of NRA members, we can build a stronger foundation for NRA 2.0.
This year, I urge every NRA member to vote. Your voice and support are essential in shaping the future of the NRA. Together, we can ensure that the organization remains a powerful advocate for our Second Amendment rights, guided by transparency, accountability, and unwavering commitment to its members.
Thank you for standing with us. With your help, NRA 2.0 will continue to grow and thrive, returning the organization to its rightful owners—the members.

The results were transformative:
- Bill Bachenberg was elected First Vice President.
- Mark Vaughn became Second Vice President.
- Most importantly, Doug Hamlin was elected Executive Vice President, ushering in a new era of leadership.
