Fish and Game Commission
Senate Rules Committee Approves Confirmation of Daniel Richards to the California Fish and Game Commission
On June 11th, the Senate Rules Committee approved the confirmation of Daniel Richards’ appointment to the California Fish and Game Commission by a unanimous 5 – 0 vote. The California Outdoor Heritage Alliance was pleased to provide testimony in support of Mr. Richards on behalf of COHA and 22 other local, state and national wildlife organizations. In order to serve his entire six year term on the Commission, Mr. Richards’ confirmation must now be approved by a vote on the Senate Floor, where it may not be considered until as late as August.

Mr. Richards comes to the Commission with a background in fish and wildlife policy, having served as Chairman of the San Bernardino County Fish and Game Commission – one of California’s largest and most diverse counties in terms of geography and wildlife resources. In this capacity, Mr. Richards demonstrated strong leadership abilities and a keen understanding of the many complex fish and wildlife issues facing the San Bernardino region. Mr. Richards is also actively involved with many wildlife and fishery organizations – including The Society for the Conservation of Bighorn Sheep, Trout Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited and various other conservation groups.

As an avid hunter and angler, Mr. Richards not only has a solid understanding of the fish and game regulations which are considered annually by the Commission, but also a firm appreciation for the lead role hunters and anglers play in the conservation of our wildlife and fishery resources and the habitats they depend upon.

Daniel Richards was appointed to the California Fish and Game Commission by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in February 2008.
