Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus Announces Leadership Change
The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) announced changes to the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) leadership for the 115th Congress. Returning Senate CSC leaders include Co-Chairs Senator Jim Risch (R-ID), Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), and Vice-Chairs Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) and Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND). Returning House leaders include Co-Chairs Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC) and Congressman Gene Green (TX). CSC leadership also added two new House Vice-Chairs, Congressman Austin Scott (R-GA) and Congressman Marc Veasey (D-TX).
“The CSC … continues to grow stronger, and we look forward to working with sportsmen and women-legislators in the 115th Congress,” said CSF President Jeff Crane. “This year’s CSC leadership will be crucial to advancing federal pro-sportsmen policies, including a comprehensive sportsmen’s package.”
“The critical hunting, fishing and angling legislative priorities that all sportsmen and women can get behind will be a top initiative. We are taking the steps necessary to get the SHARE Act on the move early and it is one of my top priorities to get SHARE on the President’s desk as soon as possible,” Duncan said.
“It is an honor to serve as the incoming Co-Chair of the Congressional Sportsmen Caucus alongside a fellow Texan, Representative Marc Veasey,” Green said. “Together with our colleagues we’ll be working on behalf of sportsmen and women to pass legislation that will protect lands and secure the sporting lifestyle for generations to come.”
