Congressional Outdoor Recreation Caucus

This week, thirty-two Members of Congress joined a newly-formed Outdoor Recreation Caucus.  The Caucus aims to promote the economic contributions of the recreational industry, encourage active outdoor lifestyles, and raise awareness to needs of wildfire funding and recreational infrastructure.  

The Caucus is chaired in the House by Reps. Jared Polis (D-CO) and Mike Simpson (R-ID), and in the Senate by Sens. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Jim Risch (R-ID).  California Representatives Jared Huffman, Mike Thompson, and Salud Carbajal are also members of the Caucus.
