State Representative Matt Dubnik (R-Gainesville) has been appointed as co-chair of the bipartisan and bicameral Georgia Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus. Rep. Dubnik will share this role with State Representative Chas Cannon (R-Moultrie), while State Senator Russ Goodman (R-Cogdell) will continue his tenure as the caucus co-chair in the Senate. This transition follows the retirement announcement of State Representative David Knight (R-Griffin), who concludes a 19-year legislative career.

“I am honored to serve alongside Rep. Cannon in this capacity and thankful for Rep. Knight’s caucus leadership over the years,” said Rep. Dubnik. “It is important that we continue work to support the outdoors and those who enjoy the outdoors recreationally. Georgia is home to many incredible wild places and landscapes and countless wildlife species. It is vital that we amplify the voices of those who spend their time in our great outdoors and know our lands best. As a member of the Sportsmen’s Caucus since my arrival to the Georgia House, I know how necessary it is to advance sporting conservation policy and to protect Georgia’s rich sporting heritage by ensuring that the interests of hunters, anglers, recreational shooters, and trappers are represented by pro-sportsmen legislators in the Georgia General Assembly.”

The Georgia Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus was established in 2004 in coordination with the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF). It collaborates directly with CSF and aligns with other state-level sportsmen’s caucuses through the CSF-administered National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses (NASC). Since its inception, NASC has expanded to all 50 states, encompassing more than 2,400 pro-sportsmen legislators nationwide.

Founded in 1989, CSF serves as an authoritative entity on outdoor issues, influencing public policy through partnerships with organizations such as CSC, GSC, and NASC. The foundation advocates for hunters, anglers, recreational shooters, and trappers at both federal and state levels to support national conservation efforts.
