SHOT Show 2026 Fundraiser Brings Second Amendment Community Together to Support Brandon Herrera
Brandon Herrera’s congressional campaign is hosting a major fundraising event tonight, Tuesday, January 20th, 2026, at the Trump Las Vegas during SHOT Show 2026—the world’s largest firearms industry trade show.
The event is bringing together Second Amendment advocates, industry leaders, and grassroots supporters from across the country during one of the most significant gatherings in the firearms community. With over 50,000 industry professionals attending SHOT Show annually, the fundraiser is providing a strategic platform to rally support for Herrera’s bid to represent Texas’ 23rd Congressional District.
Three Levels of Support
The campaign is offering multiple ways for supporters to participate in this evening’s historic event:
VIP Package ($1,000) provides the most exclusive experience with an intimate dinner with Brandon from 6-7 PM, followed by access to the Penthouse Reception from 8-11 PM, and a limited edition Brandon Herrera for Congress challenge coin to commemorate the occasion.
Penthouse Package ($250) includes a ticket to the Penthouse Reception from 8-11 PM and the exclusive limited edition challenge coin.

Building Momentum for 2026
Herrera, known as “the AK Guy” to his 4.4 million YouTube subscribers, is challenging incumbent Rep. Tony Gonzales in the Republican primary after coming within 400 votes of victory in the 2024 runoff election. His campaign has gained momentum through strong grassroots support from Second Amendment organizations including Gun Owners of America, the National Association for Gun Rights, and the Firearm Policy Coalition.
Brandon’s platform emphasizes defending gun rights through national concealed carry legislation, blocking red flag laws, and ensuring no new firearms restrictions reach the House floor. With over a decade of experience as a federal firearms licensee and firearm manufacturer, he brings industry expertise that resonates with the SHOT Show community.
The campaign continues to build on the success of the previous election cycle, where hundreds of thousands of small-dollar donors helped fund a competitive race despite being outspent approximately 12-to-1. Supporters can learn more and contribute at brandonherreraforcongress.com/donate.
