A Morgantown man has been appointed to the Kentucky Fish & Wildlife Resources Commission.

The Senate has confirmed the appointment of Jeff Raymer to the commission following the passage of Senate Resolution (SR) 129, sponsored by Sen. Steve Meredith, which affirmed Raymer’s appointment by the governor.

Raymer’s appointment, effective January 8, fills the previously held position and extends until December 31, 2026. His selection was made in accordance with KRS 150.022 and by virtue of Executive Order 2024-022.

“Mr. Raymer brings a wealth of experience and dedication to this vital role,” Meredith said. “His commitment to serving the 2nd Commission District and his demonstrated qualifications make him an excellent choice for the Fish and Wildlife Resources Commission. I want to extend my congratulations to Mr. Raymer. I was happy to support his nomination.”

The confirmation process ensures that appointed individuals are vetted thoroughly and meet the necessary qualifications for their roles.

The statutory procedures provide a structured framework for confirming appointments, ensuring transparency, accountability, and the selection of qualified candidates. This process involves the submission of nominees’ names and relevant information, public hearings when required, and the involvement of the Legislative Research Commission and other entities in the vetting process.
