NRA’s LaPierre Overwhelmingly Reelected

Wayne Robert LaPierre, Jr. (born November 8, 1949)[3][4] is an American author and gun rights advocate. He is best known for his position as the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association and for his criticism of gun control policies. The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC; /ˈsiːpæk/ see-pak) is an annual political conference attended by conservative activists and elected officials from across the United States. CPAC is hosted by the American Conservative Union (ACU).[1] In 2011, ACU took CPAC on the road with its first Regional CPAC in Orlando, Florida. Since then ACU has hosted regional CPACs in Chicago, Denver, St. Louis, and San Diego. Political front runners take the stage at this convention. Speakers have included Donald Trump,[2]Ronald Reagan,[3][4][5] George W. Bush,[6] Dick Cheney,[7] Pat Buchanan,[8] Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich,[6] Sarah Palin, Ron Paul,[9] Mitt Romney,[6] Tony Snow,[6] Glenn Beck,[10] Rush Limbaugh,[11] Ann Coulter,[7] Allen West,[12] Michele Bachmann,[13] Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Gary Johnson, Mike Pence, Jeanine Pirro, Betsy DeVos, Lou Dobbs, and other conservative public figures.

Wayne LaPierre was reelected executive vice president and CEO of the NRA at the culmination of the group’s annual convention in Houston over the weekend.

LaPierre, 72, has been a top leader of the NRA since 1991 and was reelected to his position on Monday.

Other leaders chosen by the board of directors included Charles Cotton who was reelected as president of the board, Lt. Col. Willes K. Lee as first vice president and David Coy as second vice president.

In a statement released by the NRA Monday, LaPierre shared the following sentiments:

“I am honored to continue my work for the NRA, and to join our members in their campaign to promote responsible gun ownership and defend Second Amendment freedom for all law-abiding Americans.”

He fended off a challenge from Allen West — who received only a single vote in favor of his candidacy — and who seems to have become somewhat of a political opportunist in recent years.

West served in Congress for one term, from 2011 to 2013, representing the 22nd District of Florida.

He later moved to Texas and was elected to be the chair of the Texas Republican Party in July of 2020. West was in that role until July of 2021 when he announced that he would challenge Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in the Republican Primary.

West lost the challenge on March 2nd during Texas’ primary election — the first primary election in the country.
