WASHINGTON D.C. - U.S. Congressman Dan Boren announced today that he has been named to the National Rifle Association’s Board of Directors. Boren was nominated in February, and confirmed recently by a vote of NRA members. Boren was one of 26 board members elected from 34 nominees.
“The Second Amendment is an important part of Oklahoma and this nation’s heritage, and I pledge to uphold it for all who wish to keep their families safe and for sportsmen, shooters, and hunters everywhere,” said Boren.
“I harvested my first buck at age 9, and have taken one every season since. I can still remember having to calm my buck fever that morning on my first hunt many years ago,” Boren said. “I grew up watching the NRA defend our Second Amendment rights, just like I grew up learning gun safety and marksmanship.”
“As a lifetime member of the NRA and an avid sportsman with a deep appreciation of the outdoors, I am honored to be named to the National Rifle Association Board of Directors,” Boren said. “I look forward to working closely with NRA Leadership, my fellow board members, and the millions of NRA members across the nation to promote our right to keep and bear arms.”
“I look forward to working with Congressman Boren as a member of the NRA Board of Directors. As a lifelong hunter and dedicated advocate for our Second Amendment freedom and hunting heritage, he will be a valuable addition to the NRA Board,” said Chris W. Cox, the Executive Director for the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA).
