ADVOCACY

Our Commitment

The Wisconsin Agri-Business Association (WABA) is committed to the introduction, support, and passage of legislation that has potential for a positive impact to our collective membership and only advances and/or supports those activities that are in line with the entire membership. We are also committed to defending against proposed legislation that potentially has a negative impact on our membership. Besides being registered with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission as a registered lobbying organization, WABA also employs Pfaff Public Affairs to help oversee our legislative activities.

WABA is actively engaged in the entire legislative process, having testified in various Senate and Assembly Committee Hearings and talking issues with numerous legislators. WABA is also actively involved in federal legislation that affects our members. In addition to numerous phone calls and emails to members of the Wisconsin delegation, WABA schedules one legislative trip to Washington, D.C. each year to meet personally with our state's federal legislators.

WABA is also an active member of the Wisconsin Agricultural Coalition, a coalition of agricultural producers and agribusiness organizations that work together to strengthen the voice of the agricultural community in the state.

Donations Needed for WABA's Political Action Committee

At the Wisconsin Agri-Business Association, we know that strong policy starts with strong advocacy. That’s why we need your help.

The WABA Political Action Committee (PAC) supports elected officials who understand the challenges facing agribusiness, and who are committed to protecting the future of our $116 billion industry.

From workforce shortages and transportation funding to rural infrastructure and regulatory clarity, your PAC donation helps ensure that our industry’s priorities are heard at the Capitol.

Your support, big or small, helps us keep agribusiness front and center in state policy.
