What does MRA's advocacy mean to your business?
- Keeping you informed – we track and update you on current and pending Michigan legislation and rules.
- Getting you access – when you have a question, we’ll get you an answer. MRA has relationships with state departments and agencies and can get help with any program you’re facing with state government. Remember, members, Ask Us First!
- Acting as your shield – we tackle tough legislative issues on behalf of all our members so you can stay out of the spotlight and focus on your business.
- Election guidance – every 2 years we evaluate and recommend “Friends of Retail” candidates so you can vote with your retailer cap on.
