The MRAA Advocacy team is hard at work for you. Newly appointed MRAA Government Relations Manager, Adam Fortier-Brown is working with members of Congress to address concerns with improving E15 labeling, and strengthening the U.S. labor force and the trades.  To do this, he met with members on both sides of the aisle in the House and Senate, and attended receptions with Congressional members where he was able to express how dealers are being affected by E15, steel and aluminum tariffs, and a shrinking labor pool for the trades.  

President, Matt Gruhn, Government Relations Manager, Adam Fortier-Brown, and Program Marketing Coordinator Mickaela Hilleren met with Representative Jim Hagedorn (MN-01) to discuss his American Workforce Empowerment Act, which would decrease the financial barriers that students wishing to pursue vocations face.  Students attending trade schools and apprenticeships for educational expenses including purchasing tools and equipment.  Do you have concerns about current policy?
