Grassroots Spotlight: Meet Indiana Frontlines Activist Leader Mike Lee

Mike Lee is an NRA-ILA FrontLines Activist Leader in Indiana that knows the true power of grassroots engagement! As a concerned Indiana citizen, Mike Lee regularly attends his county council meetings to ensure that no firearms-related regulations are passed. In 2019, Mike discovered that the local council planned to implement gun control regulations that would impact him and nearly everyone in the county. He quickly reached out to the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) to ask about possible solutions and assistance. He was able to collaborate quickly with the NRA-ILA and other local organizations to disseminate information and rally gun owners to attend the county council meetings. By exerting pressure on the council, they successfully reversed the ordinance.  Mike played a key role in overturning the county ordinance, as well as aiding in the election of more suitable councilmen who are respectful of our Second Amendment rights.

Mike then became an official NRA-ILA Frontline Activist Leader, and he has been leading the charge by educating people and keeping politicians honest in his county.  Mike stays involved with the NRA-ILA Grassroots team and recently helped the NRA-ILA Grassroots Department plan and organize an important legislative update meeting with over two-hundred attendees from across the county.  Individuals like Mike are at the forefront of defending our Second Amendment rights, and we are grateful he is part of the NRA-ILA Grassroots Team!
