John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas, North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
This is the first NRA annual meeting since its cancellation last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its 151st overall.
“It is truly an honor to have President Trump address NRA members for the sixth time at our 2022 NRA-ILA Leadership Forum in Houston,” said NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre in a statement.
Donald Trump will be a headline speaker at the event alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Texas Senator John Cornyn, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Texas Representative Dan Crenshaw, North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem.
