Manchin to Co-Chair Congressional Sportsmens' Caucus

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin has been named co-chairman of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus.

The Democrat says the agenda of the Sportsmen’s Caucus is to protect the rights of hunters and other outdoors enthusiasts and to conserve land for recreational use. Manchin says he’s an “avid sportsman” who understands the importance of the nation’s hunting and fishing heritage.

Manchin will chair the caucus with Sen. James Risch, an Indiana Republican.
