NRA gets new bosses after ex-leader Wayne LaPierre's spending scandal
CBSN
Dallas — The National Rifle Association, which has had its image sullied by former leader Wayne LaPierre's spending excesses, elected Doug Hamlin as executive vice president and CEO on Monday.
"Our association is at a decisive moment in our history, and the future of America and constitutional freedoms depends on the success of the NRA," said Hamlin, who recently served as executive director of the NRA's publications. Hamlin said in a statement he looked forward to working with staff to "promote political and public policies that are in the best interest of our members and all gun owners."
The board of directors for the gun rights lobbying group elected former Republican Congressman Bob Barr of Georgia as its new president.
