HONORING GEORGIA GOVERNOR BRIAN KEMP

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 49 (Wednesday, March 18, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 49 (Wednesday, March 18, 2026)] [House] [Page H2586] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING GEORGIA GOVERNOR BRIAN KEMP (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Georgia Governor Brian Kemp for being recently recognized by the Safari Club International as their 2026 Governor of the Year. Governor Kemp has excelled in his efforts to support wildlife conservation, sportsmen's rights, and public access to hunting lands. Governor Kemp has a long history of fighting for and protecting Georgians' right to hunt and their Second Amendment rights. His administration has prioritized funding for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, which has supported wildlife habitat and conservation initiatives in the acquisition of high-value game lands. On a personal note, knowing Governor Kemp as I do, I can assure my colleagues very few people love the outdoors and love hunting as much as he does. Mr. Speaker, we thank Governor Kemp for prioritizing these important freedoms and congratulate him on being awarded the 2026 SCI Governor of the Year. ____________________
