Jan 20, 2021

As President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are sworn in today, the outdoor recreation industry congratulates the incoming administration and looks forward to working with them.

“The RV Industry Association congratulates President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on their historic inauguration today,” said RV Industry Association President Craig Kirby. “We look forward to working with the incoming Biden Administration on their key priorities, as well as the RV industry’s priorities including campground modernization and expansion, tax, and trade issues.”

“On behalf of more than thirty organizations that represent the 110,000 businesses and millions of employees nationwide that make up America’s outdoor recreation industry, ORR congratulates President Biden and Vice President Harris on their inauguration,” said Outdoor Recreation Roundtable Acting Executive Director Lindsey Davis. “ORR’s members represent America’s hunting, fishing, RVing, biking, hiking, camping, off-roading, diving, boating, horseback and skiing communities, among many others. We look forward to working with, and being a resource for, President Biden and his administration on the $788 billion outdoor recreation economy and its 5.2 million jobs, and on issues of outdoor infrastructure, equitable access to the outdoors, environmentally friendly solutions, implementation of the Great American Outdoors Act, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and more. Americans value outdoor recreation for fun, for their health, and for the positive impact that it has on their communities. We appreciate the support that President Biden and members of his incoming administration have shown for this critical sector of our nation’s economy and look forward to working together on the key pillars of economic recovery, COVID-19, racial equality, and climate change.”
