Vote to Re-elect Timothy Knight to NRA Board of Directors KEEP PROVEN GRASSROOTS LEADERSHIP ON THE BOARD In 2013 Timothy Knight stunned the political world by leading a small group of political novices in beating two of the world s most powerful political machines in two recall elections in one day. Both the Clinton and Obama ground campaigns, funded by two billionaires, could not save the President of the Colorado Senate and a fellow Senator from being recalled. He has not stopped his grassroots connection with citizens across the Republic since. In 2015 Timothy bucked the odds again and became the first noncelebrity petition-only candidate to gain a seat on the NRA Board of Directors in years. Since that time Tim has not forgotten that he works for the members who elected him. He is keeping his promises to always run as a petition candidate, to attend all board meetings and to retire his seat when he turns 60 to make room for the next generation. He always pays his way and never accepts any type of reimbursement. At NRA events Tim is always walking the floor to meet members. Always out to earn it and proud to serve. - NRA Board Member since 2015 serving on the Grassroots Development & Clubs and the Associations Committees - NRA Benefactor Member, Golden Eagle, Ring of Freedom Charter Member & Charlton Heston Society Ambassador - Receives no pay or reimbursement of any kind - Benefactor Member & Board Member of the Tennessee Shooting Sports Association - Student of firearms: multiple graduate of Thunder Ranch & Gunsite (>15 classes) in pistol, rifle, shotgun, bolt gun and NFA firearms. - A proven grassroots activist nationwide campaigning in CT, IA & CO 14; VA 15; NV, ME, SC, NC, GA and TN 16.
