The NAA Government Affairs team has been busy strengthening relationships on Capitol Hill with lawmakers in both parties. To date, the NAA team has attended approximately 200 fundraising events. Notably:
- NAA Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Greg Brown recently attended an event for Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.-8), Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, where he was able to highlight the apartment industry’s legislative priorities and learn more about tax issues under consideration in the 118th Congress.
- NAA Director of Federal Legislative Affairs Maria Spencer attended events for Reps. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.-9) and Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.-11) and thanked both members for agreeing to cosponsor H.R. 802, Respect State Housing Laws Act.
- NAA Director of Federal Legislative Affairs Jodie Anderson joined an event for Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kan.-3), where she praised the Congresswoman for agreeing to support H.R. 3507, Yes in My Backyard Act, as a cosponsor.
- NAA Director of Federal Legislative Affairs Jason Lynn attended an event honoring Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.-6), where he highlighted legislation important to the apartment industry and thanked the Congressman for his past support.
The NAA Government Affairs team has many additional upcoming events for NAAPAC champions later this year to help educate and thank lawmakers for supporting issues important to our industry.
