Publicly announced resignations, misidentification, roster removals, disavowals
Largely in response to a recent NRA organized letter writing campaign, dozens of mayors have resigned from or distanced themselves from the MAIG while still in office. The NRA 's web site lists 73 mayors that have quit the MAIG, including 15 in Pennsylvania, alone. Responses have been varied, including, announced resignations, requests to be removed from the MAIG's roster, or disavowals of ever joining the coalition. In one case, Mayor Orlando Ortega Jr. of Portales, New Mexico complained that the NRA listing of member mayors had incorrectly identified the mayor as being a member. Ortega was indeed listed as a MAIG member in a July 2009 MAIG-produced letter to congress. One mayor mentioned that her reason for resigning was "...because she thought [MAIG] was attempting to erode all gun ownership, not just illegal guns." In some other cases, mayors have claimed that MAIG has used their name without permission.- Mayor Mark BegichMark BegichMark Peter Begich is the junior United States Senator from Alaska and a member of the Democratic Party.
