                  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.
