Wayne LaPierre will face a new challenger to lead the NRA.
Former Texas Republican Party chairman and candidate for governor Allen West announced Monday he will challenge LaPierre to become executive vice president of the gun rights organization.
West said he would accept the nomination offered up by dissident current and former NRA board members looking to replace LaPierre. He said he is running to “restore the honor, integrity, and character” of the NRA.
LaPierre has faced significant opposition within the group, which in recent years has faced financial struggles, a failed bankruptcy, and a corruption suit brought by the Attorney General of New York.
