It is a role that we have held for more than 125 years, and as one of the largest chambers of commerce in the United States, we believe that our organization has an enormous impact in the political arena. As we begin the legislative session, it is a critical time to fully engage in the political process. The state is facing tough budgeting decisions, and many of our most effective economic development programs are up for review. Our education system is at a crossroads. And uncertainty at the federal level leads to questions about heath care and transportation outcomes on a state and local level.
