The Chamber promotes a pro-business agenda with political action programming. We study, analyze and make recommendations on a myriad of issues of interest to the Pierce County business community. When we take advocacy positions on those issues, we communicate the Chamber’s viewpoint clearly and strongly to our membership, elected officials and the community at-large. The Chamber organizes events such as candidates forums and provide tools like an electronic listing of bills of interests during the legislative session. By providing strategic communication to our members, we keep them informed on upcoming elections, ballot measures and issues to help them make educated voting decisions.
