My legislation is very straightforward. It would simply redesignate the majority of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore into the Apostle Islands National Park. My bill also maintains the heritage of hunting within the Apostle Islands by designating Sand Island, a popular hunting destination, as the Sand Island National Preserve. Protecting hunting access is paramount to me, and this follows the model of the recently elevated New River Gorge National Park. (02:01–02:12)
