Now, attention turns to the U.S. Senate, where S.1306 will soon be heard and voted on. The Senate has an opportunity—and a responsibility—to stand with rural America and affirm that conservation success should be recognized, not punished. Passage of S.1306 would send a powerful signal that Congress understands the difference between genuine species recovery and perpetual federal overreach. The Cavalry Group urges the Senate to act swiftly. This legislation is not radical; it is corrective. It does not
dismantle conservation—it restores its integrity. It ensures that the ESA remains focused on species truly at risk while respecting the people who feed, clothe, and sustain this nation. The House has taken a bold step. Now the Senate must finish the job. Rural America has waited long enough.
U.S. Senators immediately and urge them to support S.1306, the Senate companion to the Pet and Livestock Protection Act. The future of science- based wildlife management— and the families who live with its consequences—depends on decisive action now.

I was deeply honored to receive an award from Bronc Riding Nation, presented by its founder, Lori O’Harver, in recognition of The Cavalry Group’s work on the Working Animal Protection Act -- legislation that has already passed in Oklahoma and Arkansas,
preemptive legislation that was created to push back against local overreach and activist-driven ordinances that threaten lawful working animal businesses, traditions, and agritourism. Its passage is proof
