Government Relations

Advocating the grocery retail industry’s interests in the halls of government is our job. The food industry is highly regulated and holds a multitude of business interests. Each legislative session, we track more than 40 bills in Ohio and dozens more at the federal level. We also engage in extensive regulatory work on issues directly impacting our members. We work continually to foster relationships with elected and agency officials and to maintain strong coalitions with state and national organizations that have similar interests.
