COLUMBUS — Gov. Ted Strickland has joined the bipartisan Governors Sportsmen's Caucus, a recently established group of sitting governors who are committed to protecting and promoting the interests and agenda of sportsmen and women and wildlife professionals in Ohio and across the nation.

The group was launched this summer at the National Governors’ Association annual meeting in Biloxi, Miss.

“Sportsmen activities generate billions of dollars for our economy and provide employment opportunities for thousands of people,” Strickland said. “I am proud to serve as a member of the Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus, and I look forward to advocating on a national level for one of Ohio’s most important outdoor traditions.”

The goal of the caucus is to facilitate communication and information exchange between participating governors’ offices in support of policies and regulations that promote hunting, fishing and wildlife management.

The caucus is charged with educating GSC member offices on public policy issues of importance to sportsmen; providing a conduit for hunting and fishing organizations to work with GSC member offices in support of pro-sportsmen’s policies and regulations; and developing a coordinated resource base for sportsmen’s policy issues addressed by the states.
