The New York State Senate this week put “on hold” the nomination of Alexander “Pete” Grannis for Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner as it explores the mounting opposition to his confirmation.

NRA and other sportsmen’s groups continue to lobby the Senate to block this nomination. Any doubt of nominee Grannis’s anti-gun, anti-sportsmen bias should be removed with his endorsement by New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, the leading anti-gun lobbying organization in the state.

As DEC Commissioner, Grannis would have the authority to make policy through regulatory means, bypassing consideration by your elected officials. These decisions could permanently impact hunters and gun owners in the Empire State.

Sportsmen are a key component of the GOP base, and they have come out hard against the Grannis appointment. And quite appropriately. What happens here could be a good indication of things to come.

Not only is Grannis well known for his anti-gun, anti-hunting, and anti-sportsmen positions and votes, but he is grossly under qualified to be charged with stewardship of New York State's rich outdoor heritage. After a bruising battle with lawmakers claiming that Assemblyman Tom DiNapoli lacked the qualifications to replace disgraced former state comptroller Alan Hevesi, the Governor puts forth a candidate who both lacks the background to be DEC Commissioner and shows outright contempt and hatred for all outdoor recreational activities. During his tenure in the Assembly, Grannis sponsored and signed on to numerous anti-gun and anti-hunting bills, as well as legislation to outlaw trapping. As DEC Commissioner, Grannis would have the authority to make policy through regulatory means, bypassing consideration by your elected officials. These decisions could permanently impact hunters and sportsmen. If this nomination is approved by the State Senate, Grannis will be in a position to institute anti-hunting policies that he has supported in the past. Please call your State Senator TODAY and ask him or her to oppose the confirmation of Pete Grannis as DEC Commissioner and be sure to politely remind him or her that a vote to approve Grannis is a vote against the Second Amendment and our hunting heritage! Your Senator can be contacted at 518-455-2800. NEW YORK
