Best restaurant industry lobbying!

2 for 1

Benefits

The National Restaurant Association fights and wins victories for members and the industry through its lobbying efforts and programs. Read what Fortune magazine said about us.

We keep watch on front-burner issues, so you don't get burned!
We keep an eye on hot legislative and regulatory issues: food safety, minimum wage, teen labor, and more. We take your case directly to Capitol Hill, federal agencies, and — with our partner state restaurant associations — to state capitols around the United States.See what's on the front burner now.

We fight for pro-restaurant agendas.
Our GO-Network is an army of grassroots activists made up of multi-unit operators, independents, state restaurant associations, and suppliers.

We support pro-restaurant candidates.
Our NRA-PAC, which packs a powerful punch, scouts out promising office-seekers for Congress, regardless of party affiliation. Our record shows results: More than 90 percent of pro-restaurant candidates supported by the NRA-PAC in the last election cycle won their seats in Congress.

We fight anti-business proposals.
The SAFE Fund, the multi-million-dollar Save American Free Enterprise (SAFE) Fund, was created to protect and preserve the principles of the free enterprise system at the federal, state and local levels.

We hold a conference where leaders meet.
At our Public Affairs Conference every September you can join 700+ other restaurant operators in Washington, DC, to lobby Congress.
