Legislative Action

With the NJ business climate at a critical stage, it is extremely important that your Chamber stays ahead of the issues impacting the way you do business and we do!!!

Serving as your government affairs department, your watchdog and your advocate are roles that we are committed to serving and serving well.  Our Legislative Committee works tirelessly to track legislation at all levels of government that impact business attraction and growth.  We know that over regulation and government mandates result from bad legislative policies.  By passing and presenting formal Board Resolutions we are able to get out in front of bad policies and let our decision makers know that our region wil NOT settle for policies negatively impacting our business community.

If you are aware of issues impacting your business at any level of government, let us assist you.  To request our assistance or birng issues of eneral concern to our attention, please email Michele Siekerka at Michele@mercerchamber.org or call 609-689-9960 ext. 13.
