I too am wondering the same thing. I plan to vote for Adam Kraut as well.

I don't have any first hand knowledge of anyone else running, but on another NFA board, Duane Liptak Jr. was suggested and got some positive support. Here is a link to his policy statements:
https://www.duaneliptakjrnra.com/policy-goals

On paper, he looks pretty good to me, given his open support for removing SBRs, SBSs, and suppressors from NFA, and repealing the Hughes Amendment.

Also, this isn't directed to anyone in particular, but I want to highlight an important point with regard to ballot procedures: I suggest ONLY voting for those few names who you know you want to be on the board for sure (rather than ranking your top 25 of 35, for instance).

In my case, I will only vote for those who I have a high confidence are NO COMPROMISE 2A supporters. Don't load up the ballot with the names being pushed by the board nominating committee. You do not have to vote for 25 names. You can vote for just 1 or 2 if you prefer. Whichever 25 get the most votes get the slots. You will only hurt your own candidates' chances by voting for people you don't know to be the best.

Not trying to get preachy, just want to highlight and remind people how the process works.

It's vote for 25 of 35 listed. Fortunately, Adam Kraut is number 17, so he'll be in a likely spot for random picks.

Glad to learn the process. I was wondering how to handle the other 24.

Julie Golob is a good vote in my opinion.

I would tend to agree.

Any thoughts from the masses RE: Kim Rhode or Ronnie Barrett?

I don't see myself voting for anyone else at this point based on a cursory review of their bios, but there are still a few months until the submission deadline.
