Tell that to Joe Biden. Please. :roll:

The Webverse seems fairly quiet about Andrew Arulanandam. In a statement about the appointment, La Pierre said that his longtime spokesman "knows every facet of this organization and has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with me in every arena imaginable. Andrew knows how to help the NRA win – he’s been one of the key authors of our playbook for decades."

Not much bio information on him, though. He evidently joined the NRA in 2000, and has also worked with the NRA-ILA. Prior to, he was the manager of government relations at the Idaho Housing and Finance Association, and did a stint as executive director of the Idaho Republican Party. Before that he was finance director for Idaho governor Phil Batt's gubernatorial campaign and continued to serve his administration as a senior policy advisor. Right out of Boise State University (1987-1992), he was a field representative for the Dirk Kempthorne for Senate campaign (1992-1993) which Kempthorne won. It looks like Arulanandam's high school days were at St. George's Institution, Taiping, Perak, Malaysia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Georg ... n,_Taiping

Arulanandam sat for a deposition back in 2019 in the Ackerman McQueen mess. That was made public in July 2021 and NRA Watch has it posted if anyone is interested: https://nrawatch.org/filing/deposition- ... ulanandam/
