Congressman Patrick T. McHenry (R-NC-10) joined the growing legions of congressional support for hunters and anglers by becoming a member of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus last week. An avid outdoorsman, Congressman McHenry will be working for Western North Carolina’s thousands of sportsmen to defeat proposals that would threaten these traditions, and promote policy that improves hunting and fishing and the conservation of our fish and wildlife resources.

“Sportsmen have played a critical role in protecting North Carolina’s natural resources, have been strong defenders of our Second Amendment rights, and have always had a significant impact on North Carolina’s economy,” said Congressman McHenry. “By joining the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus, I will be serving the sportsmen in my district and all those who want to ensure we always have places and opportunities to hunt and fish.”

The Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus is a bi-partisan group of allies for sportsmen in Congress. Established in 1989, the Caucus works to protect the interests of America’s hunters, anglers, and trappers in the United States Senate and House of Representatives. There are currently 314 members of the Caucus, making it the largest issue-based caucus on Capitol Hill.
