Congressman Andrew Clyde to Speak at GOALS 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JULY 17, 2025

Washington, D.C. – Gun Owners of America (GOA) is proud to announce that long time congressional ally and fierce fighter for the Second Amendment, Congressman Andrew Clyde, will be speaking at the 2025 Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit (GOALS), taking place August 9-10 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Representative Clyde has been an ardent and passionate defender of the right to keep and bear arms since he first joined Congress in 2019. He represents the same No Compromise mentality towards the Second Amendment as Gun Owners of America and has inspired and educated his colleagues to become the best possible stewards of our constitutional rights as a result. Gun owners across the country have no better champion in Congress than Representative Clyde.

GOALS 2025 will feature more than 120,000 square feet of exhibitor space, training sessions, legal briefings, and powerhouse speakers—all uniting under one mission: defending the right to keep and bear arms without compromise.

Congressman Andrew Clyde issued the following statement: 

“When I was elected, I told voters I wouldn’t just protect and defend the Second Amendment, I’d fight to restore what we have lost. That’s exactly why I was on the House floor at 4:00 AM, fighting to ensure that the repeal of the unconstitutional taxation of suppressors and short-barreled firearms was included in President Trump’s One, Big Beautiful Bill.

“For over 90 years, the NFA has infringed on your rights—now we are finally fighting back and winning! While this MONUMENTAL VICTORY is worthy of celebration, there is still much work to be done.

“I’m honored to join like-minded patriots at the GOALS convention next month to discuss some exciting opportunities ahead for this movement. Thanks to the tireless work and assistance of Gun Owners of America, I’m here to tell you to stay tuned, because working together, there will be more wins coming.”

Aidan Johnston, Director of Federal Affairs, issued the following statement:

“If there is Second Amendment fight to be had on Capitol Hill, Congressman Andrew Clyde is always right there with GOA in the trenches to protect and restore your rights. Rep. Clyde is a Second Amendment stalwart and we’re proud to host him at GOALS.”

GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. GOA represents over two million members and activists. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.
