Policymaking begins at home and ensuring our voice is heard locally may have the greatest impact on your business and employees.

State

Developing a statewide legislative agenda can be vital in the creation of jobs and the well-being of the state of Texas and Abilene’s economic landscape.

Federal

We must stand together for laws and policies that make sense for the entire country, as well as ensuring the needs of the individual business or entrepreneur are not forgotten.
