A familiar face of the American fishing community and Conservation Director for the Bass Anglers Sportsmen’s Society (BASS), Chris Horton, is joining the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF) as a Regional Director for the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses (NASC) starting in September.
"Fishing, hunting and protecting our fish and wildlife resources is a personal passion that I share with millions of Americans and I'm both honored and excited about the opportunity to work with an organization that has such a proven track record of protecting America's hunting and angling heritage,” said Horton. “I believe that accepting this position provides the best and most direct opportunity to implement policies that not only benefit our natural resources, but also safeguard our ability to enjoy those resources.”
Horton joins CSF to deepen and expand the existing relationships that the NASC program has developed with state legislators, governors, and legislative staff. Based out of his home state of Arkansas, this is part of the CSF plan to geographically expand the reach and scope of the NASC and the Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus (GSC) to further the policy objectives of the hunting, fishing and trapping communities.
“This expansion with the addition of such a trusted and well-known figure in the sportsmen’s community such as Chris, will allow the organization to better serve NASC state caucuses, and Governors,” said CSF President Jeff Crane. “By increasing awareness of the caucuses and developing a more in-depth knowledge of fish, wildlife, and conservation related issues and policies for different regions, Chris will provide valuable on-the-ground assistance to state legislators, governors, and legislative staff.”
