Why It Matters: One of the last lines of defense against attempts to undermine our time-honored outdoor traditions is located on a Governor’s desk. This is why the Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus (GSC) is a critical component of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) three-pronged approach to our mission. By joining the GSC, Governor Matt Meyer demonstrates his dedication to the First State’s sportsmen and women.
Highlights:
- In late July, Delaware Governor Matt Meyer officially became the 27th active member of the Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus.
- As part of the GSC, Governor Meyer is now a member of a bipartisan network designed to further protect and advance our time-honored outdoor traditions.
- Since 2009, the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation has worked with GSC members as a final line of defense in support of our rights as hunters, anglers, trappers, and recreational shooting sports participants.
In July, Delaware Governor Matt Meyer became the 27th active member of the Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus. Created in 2009 as a final line of defense at the state level, the GSC is a bipartisan network of governors who share information across state and party lines in support of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation’s mission to protect and advance hunting, angling, recreational shooting and trapping.
GSC members also work closely with the respective state legislative sportsmen’s caucuses organized through the bipartisan National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses (NASC). Together, these two programs represent an unprecedented network of pro-sportsmen elected officials. While many of CSF’s policy victories are won through close coordination with NASC-member caucuses, the GSC has historically played a pivotal role in pushing pro-sportsmen and women’s policy across the finish line while stopping anti policies at their final hurdle.
Governor Meyer continues Delaware’s representation on the GSC, following former Delaware Governor John Carney. Governor Meyer recognizes the important role that sportsmen and women play in conservation and the state and local economies. CSF is excited to work alongside Governor Meyer and his team behalf of the First State’s sportsmen and women.
