Ammoland: CSC Leaders Discuss 2018 Priorities for Sportsmen and Women

Yesterday, the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF) hosted the Welcome Back to Congress Reception on Capitol Hill, which gathered Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus (CSC) Members and Congressional staff with representatives from the sportsmen's community to discuss upcoming priorities for hunting, angling, and fish and wildlife conservation at the federal level.

CSF President Jeff Crane introduced current CSC leadership, who are continuing to serve as leaders during the second term of the 115th Congress. Co-Chairs include: Senator Jim Risch (ID), Senator Joe Manchin (WV), Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC), and Congressman Gene Green (TX). Vice-Chairs include: Senator Deb Fischer (NE), Senator Heidi Heitkamp (ND), Congressman Austin Scott (GA), and Congressman Marc Veasey (TX).

Among federal priorities discussed were: Recovering America's Wildlife Act; the Modern Fish Act; federal forestry reform; the 2018 Farm Bill; Modernizing the Pittman-Robertson Fund for Tomorrow's Needs Act; and advancing a bipartisan sportsmen's package in both the House and Senate.

"We are not giving up on the sportsmen's package; we are going to get that done," said Sen. Manchin. "I want to thank Jeff Duncan, Austin Scott, and Marc Veasey for all they do on the House side, and we are doing all that we can on the Senate side."
