C.R. “Bubba” Saulsbury Jr. is consistently identified in reporting and organizational listings as a director/shareholder and senior executive at his family firm Saulsbury Industries and as an officer on the leadership roster of USA Shooting (Vice President, South Central). The Saulsbury corporate site lists him as Director and Shareholder [1]; multiple news outlets describe him as a director and major shareholder at Saulsbury Industries [2] [3]. USA Shooting’s leadership page lists him as Vice President, South Central [4].
1. Saulsbury Industries: family director and shareholder — the core role
Public-facing company information and repeated news profiles identify Saulsbury as a director and shareholder of Saulsbury Industries, the family-owned oil‑and‑gas engineering and construction business. The company’s leadership page explicitly lists “C.R. ‘Bubba’ Saulsbury Jr.” as a Director and Shareholder and describes his role in strategic efforts, M&A and corporate/client relations [1]. Independent reporting likewise calls him a director and major shareholder of the firm [2] [3].
2. Saulsbury Industries: additional titles and board membership in reporting
Beyond the formal “Director/Shareholder” listing, outlets describe Saulsbury in senior executive terms tied to corporate strategy and governance. Vanity Fair and other profiles cite him as a member of the company’s board of directors and refer to his long career at the family business; the Saulsbury site similarly frames his involvement at an executive, strategic level [5] [1]. Available sources do not provide precise start dates for his board membership or the year he first assumed the director/shareholder title.
3. USA Shooting: regional vice president on a national nonprofit board
Sporting‑organization records list Saulsbury as a volunteer leader in the national governing body for the sport of shooting. USA Shooting’s leadership page names “C.R. ‘Bubba’ Saulsbury, Jr.” as Vice President, South Central, a regional officer role on the organization’s leadership roster [4]. An Equilar executive profile also signals a connection to USA Shooting, identifying him as Vice President South Central [6]. Sources do not state the date he was first elected or appointed to that regional vice‑president post.
4. Public appearances and titles in other outlets (C-SPAN, profiles)
C-SPAN’s person page lists Saulsbury with a corporate strategy executive title and records at least one forum appearance in 2021, indicating public-facing roles beyond his private business and nonprofit commitments [7]. Profiles in news outlets (Times Now, Hindustan Times, Vanity Fair) reiterate his Saulsbury Industries directorship and emphasize his donor status and social connections; these articles supplement organizational listings but do not add exact appointment dates [2] [3] [5].
5. Political and social context tied to his roles
Reporting links Saulsbury’s corporate and social standing to high‑profile political activity: multiple outlets note his large donations to Trump-affiliated committees and that his family owns the Boondoggle Ranch, a private hunting resort referenced in coverage of visits by political figures [2] [5] [8]. Those stories use his identities as Saulsbury Industries director and family scion as context for why his name appears in political reporting [2] [5]. Organizational sources like Saulsbury’s leadership page do not mention political donations or the ranch [1].
6. What the available sources do not provide — key missing details
Available sources do not provide dates for when Saulsbury first joined the Saulsbury Industries board or when he became a director/shareholder [1] [2]. They do not supply a start date for his USA Shooting Vice President, South Central role [4] [6]. Equilar and other profiles hint at additional past titles or committee roles but require subscription access for full career timelines [6]. Where specific appointment or election dates are essential, current reporting is incomplete.
7. Competing framings and how to read them
Corporate and organizational listings (Saulsbury Industries, USA Shooting) present Saulsbury as a business and civic leader with formal titles [1] [4]. News coverage emphasizes his status as a major Republican donor and family owner of high‑end recreational property, casting his corporate titles as part of a network of influence [2] [5]. Readers should note these are complementary framings: one documents formal positions; the other uses those positions to explain political and social reach [1] [2] [5].
If you want, I can compile the specific lines from each source that name his titles and extract any available date references, or seek additional vetted records (state filings, FEC filings, press releases) to try to establish exact start dates.
