EP 11 | District Of Conservation: Post-Midterm Election Analysis

In Episode 11 of District of Conservation, I discussed the effects of the 2018 midterm elections.

Listen to the full episode here:

Here’s the gist:

• I note  that Democrats who have reclaimed the House of Representatives want to pursue anti-gun legislation, but won’t have it advance past their chamber. It’ll die in the U.S. Senate.
• I note that the new incoming Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) boasts an abysmal record on sportsmen’s issues and has backing from extreme animal rights groups.
• I note that NC passing the right to hunt and fish amendment is a win for conservation and that state Democrats worked actively against it.
