December 9, 2024 (Washington, D.C.) – With the start of the 2025 state legislative sessions looming on the horizon, the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF), formally announced today the state legislators who will be serving as the 2025 Executive Council for the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses (NASC), one of three caucuses under the CSF umbrella.
After being established in 2004, NASC has become the most effective pro-conservation policy force in the nation, securing more than 1,350 policy victories since 2018. Currently, there are more than 2,450 state legislators who are members of individual state legislative sportsmen’s caucuses in all 50 states, all united under NASC.
The 2025 NASC Executive Council is below:

“Hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors enjoying our natural resources is a way of life in Arkansas. It’s called the Natural State for a reason,” said Executive Council President Rep. Jeff Wardlaw. “Serving on the NASC Executive Council has been an honor for me, and I now look forward to working with CSF and my colleagues as we build upon our prior two decades of success. Over the last 20 years, the NASC program has grown from a nascent idea to now being the most effective network in existence for protecting and advancing pro-sportsmen and pro-conservation legislation at the state level. Together, we will continue to grow the program and become still more effective in our work to conserve our natural resources and protect America’s proud sporting-conservation heritage.”
The members of the Executive Council, elected by their peers, provide advice and counsel to the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation and ensure that NASC provides the best service possible to the individual state caucuses and their members. The Executive Council plays a critical role in the protection and advancement of our time-honored sporting traditions by establishing the activities of NASC, developing issue briefs, and setting guidelines for affiliated state caucuses.
“As we enter into a new year, our vision is set forward on what is to come. 2025 will bring its unique challenges and opportunities and, with the immense strength of the NASC network, I have no doubt that we will continue to make a monumental difference in the new year,” said CSF President and CEO Jeff Crane. “The Executive Council plays a pivotal role in assisting CSF and NASC in our mission to protect and promote America’s unique conservation legacy and we greatly appreciate their steadfast dedication and support.”
