WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA) has aligned himself with three influential bipartisan caucuses focused on conservation, land management, and economic resilience, signaling an early effort to position Pennsylvania as a national leader in energy and environmental policy.
McCormick announced his membership in the Roosevelt Conservation Caucus, the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus, and the Senate Stewardship Caucus, each of which promotes cross-party cooperation on issues that frequently divide Congress. The move reflects a strategic embrace of market-driven conservation, access to public lands, and balanced resource development.
“Pennsylvania is home to rolling hills, historic landmarks, and beautiful farmland. As U.S. Senator, my priority will always be to advance policies that strengthen our communities, preserve our natural resources, and ensure a strong future for the Pennsylvania we know and love,” McCormick said. He added that the three caucuses share a commitment to bipartisan progress on conservation, land management, and energy innovation.
McCormick emphasized that Pennsylvania’s energy portfolio—spanning natural gas, nuclear power, and emerging technologies—stands to benefit from a collaborative policy environment. He framed the caucus memberships as an opportunity to expand the state’s role in shaping national energy strategy while maintaining responsible oversight of natural resources.
Established in 2019, the Roosevelt Conservation Caucus promotes right-of-center approaches to environmental and energy challenges. Its core principles include market-based solutions, private property rights, and cooperative federalism, offering alternatives to centralized regulatory frameworks.
The Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus, founded in 1989, represents one of the largest bipartisan groups in Congress, with more than 200 members. Its work focuses on the interests of hunters, anglers, trappers, and recreational shooters, along with broader conservation and wildlife-habitat initiatives.
Meanwhile, the Senate Stewardship Caucus concentrates on the preservation and responsible management of public lands, outdoor recreation, and long-term resource sustainability. Its members advocate for keeping America’s landscapes accessible, productive, and environmentally sound.
By joining all three groups, McCormick is anchoring his early Senate agenda in themes of environmental responsibility and economic opportunity—an approach likely to resonate in a state where natural resources and outdoor traditions play an outsized role in daily life and long-term planning.
