\nThe Legislative and Transportation committee supports chamber membership by advocating for sound business practices at \;state and local government levels. This includes\, advocacy in Olympia\, developing policy positions\, legislation receptions\, review referendums and initiatives\, and help organize all legislation events of the Chamber.
\n \;

\n \;
\nChamber Day planning\, attending and messaging to our elected officials
\nAnother day in Olympia to advocate for small business issues given bills proposed\, dropped and in process.
\nOngoing bulletin messages on proposed legislation and tax impacts to business/our members.
\nTransportation presentations throughout the year on changes\, tolling\, etc.\, and communicate to members.
\nWork and develop policy positions with the South KC Coalition that speak to our member&rsquo\;s business needs. \; This requires ongoing communication with the coalition and business members.
\nPrioritized Renton Chamber legislative priorities and impact to business.
\nLegislative Reception to enable Chamber members to hear from incumbents and candidates.
\nInvite all individuals running for election to ask for Chamber endorsement. \;Given responses to that and interviews completed by the committee\, recommend the committee&rsquo\;s decision to the board for their input/approval and then communication.
