Rep. Darrell Issa and colleagues from California and Arkansas announced Thursday the formation of a new congressional caucus to promote the American heritage of rodeo.

The Republican who represents East County joined Rep. Jim Costa, a Democrat from Fresno, and Rep. Rick Crawford, a Republican from eastern Arkansas, to form the Bipartisan Congressional Rodeo Caucus.

“We formed this caucus to recognize the historic place that rodeos hold not only in Western and Southwestern culture, but throughout the American experience,” said Issa. “These events are enduring symbols of our deeply rooted traditions, and we are proud to ensure that the future of these great celebrations remains bright.”

Tom Glause, CEO of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, cheered formation of the new caucus.

““The PRCA represents the top cowboys and animal athletes in the world as they compete and entertain millions of fans at the best rodeos across the USA .and greatly appreciates Congress’ recognition of America’s greatest sport,” said Glause.
