NRB President & CEO in FOX Opinion: Christians Have "Moral and Ethical Duty" to Vote November 5

WASHINGTON, D.C. (NRB) — In a new op-ed published in FOX Opinion on Thursday morning, Troy A. Miller, NRB president & CEO, writes that evangelical Christian voters have the numbers to decide the 2024 election if they turn out on November 5. 

"At this stage in the 2024 presidential election, there are very few truly undecided voters," Miller writes. "Most evangelical Christians have already concluded which candidates best align with their Christian beliefs and their hopes for America’s future."

Miller continues, "While there may only be a small number of voters still contemplating the choice between former President Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, or other federal, state or local candidates further down the ballot, many more are wavering between action or inaction. The decision at hand is whether to put their vote into the ballot box."

As NRB president & CEO Troy A. Miller explained, the need for a permanent headquarters is more urgent than ever.

“We all know what the environment is like today, and the hostility that Christian organizations are seeing,” Miller remarked to a key group of industry leaders and NRB members at the recent Capitol Hill Media Summit (CHMS).
