MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THE NRA: The National Rifle Association has a very large board of directors, and two members of Congress are included on the list.
Alaska Republican Rep. Don Young -- who was re-elected with 65 percent of the vote in November -- and Oklahoma Democratic Rep. Dan Boren -- who will retire after the 112th Congress -- are both members of the NRA's board, according to the Center for Responsive Politics' personal finance data.
In the 2012 election cycle, the NRA's PAC plus individuals employed by the association gave federal candidates almost $720,000. Young received $2,000. In the 2010 cycle, he was given $5,950, and got $10,150 in the 2008 cycle. Extending back to 1990, Young has received $86,600 in contributions from the NRA, and the most he ever raised in a cycle was $14,850 in the 1992 election.
