2026 National Rifle Association Board of Directors Election Results<\/a><\/p>\n

The annual election of the National Rifle Association Board of Directors has concluded. The 2026 results are in and 36 director candidates have been elected to available one-to-three year terms.<\/p>\n

Annually an election is held for the NRA Board of Directors. Under normal circumstances there are 25 three-year director spots up for grabs each year. An additional 76th director who is elected at the NRA Annual Meeting would serve a one-year term. Candidates in the 2026 election had a near clean sweep, with all but two securing a spot. Due to multiple resignations from the board during the 2025 – 2026 year, 36 candidates were able to take posts on the board \u2014 including the 76th director\u2019s spot.<\/p>\n

As previously reported, the NRA Nominating Committee\u00a0selected<\/a>\u00a030 candidates they felt met requirements set forth by the committee in conjunction with input from the NRA president and first vice president. Of those 30 candidates, there were 13 incumbent directors.<\/p>\n

There were eight candidates who ran successful petition campaigns. Also notable, there were three director candidates who were selected by the nominating committee and ran successful petition campaigns: incumbent directors Steven C. Schreiner, Amanda Suffecool, and newcomer Robert Beckman.<\/p>\n

Between the petition candidates and those selected by the committee, a\u00a0slate<\/a>\u00a0of 38 potential candidates was previously announced.<\/p>\n

On April 2, 2026 the NRA\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0the results of the Board of Directors election. The original notification stated 35 candidates were elected. An update to NRA\u2019s announcement on American Rifleman indicated that one candidate who was eligible for 76th director withdrew from the slate \u2014 Isaac Demarest \u2014 leaving Lynn Gipson elected as the de facto 76th director.<\/p>\n
