The Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners is proud to announce our friend & ally Christian Ragosta has been promoted to Manager, Political & Legislative Activities at NRA's Institute for Legislative Action. NRA-ILA was founded in 1975 and is the official lobbying arm of the National Rifle Association, America's oldest civil rights organization. The promotion of April 7th comes as no surprise to us here at CNJFO due to having witnessed Ragosta in action since our inception many years ago.

Back in CNJFO's formative stages he saw great promise & integrity in "the new kid on the block", and attended as many events as his busy schedule would allow. He was our local Field Representative covering NJ, NY, PA, and CT. A challenging task to say the least given the tremendous amount of real estate, and yet he ALWAYS came through for us!

Fulfilling our needs for NRA swag for goody bags and raffles, attending fundraisers and speaking to NRA-ILA's role, introducing CNJFO committee members to NRA-ILA's Chris Cox and several NRA top executives, and recommending yours truly for the 2017 Jay M. Littlefield Volunteer of the Year Award presented at the September 2018 Board meeting. All because Christian saw something special in CNJFO and nurtured it. And that just scratches the surface.

Providing CNJFO a partnership that has withstood the test of time is a benchmark of Ragosta's professionalism and eagerness to fulfill his role. We take much pleasure in seeing this promotion and congratulate him as we look into the future in these uncertain times. God Speed!
