From CFACT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Gabriella Hoffman<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome call it oversight. It seems more like whack-a-mole\u2026 I sometimes wonder if they\u2019ve [the Biden administration] got a committee over there that sits around thinking up things to get us worked up because they\u2019re doing a pretty good job of it. And they give us a lot of opportunities to have oversight to push back on regulations that we can\u2019t see any logic behind, or what the benefit of it is. At the same time, we\u2019re also trying to push our agenda. I know you care a lot about conservation, hunting and fishing, and wildlife. And that\u2019s something I\u2019m very passionate about. We\u2019ve passed the American Wildlife Habitat Conservation Act out of committee. We\u2019re looking at forestry management. We\u2019re really on the offensive, putting good policies out and showing an alternative to this over-burdensome regulatory environment that this administration has created. But at the same time we\u2019re doing that \u2014 playing offense, we have a lot of defense to play.\u201d \u2013 House Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-AR)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Episode 422 of District of Conservation, Gabriella visits Capitol Hill to chat with Rep Bruce Westerman (R-AR) \u2013 chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee. Chairman Westerman rejoins the podcast to discuss the committee\u2019s work to conduct oversight of bad Biden administration policies, concerns with the BIDEH rule, the environmental disaster brewing at the Southern Border, attacks on hunting and fishing, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
