Issues & Advocacy

Political Advocacy

There are two important ways in which you can support the restaurant industry’s advocacy efforts.

Join the Restaurant PAC

The National Restaurant Association's Political Action Committee is the industry’s leading trade association PAC. Formed in 1977, the Restaurant PAC pools personal, voluntary funds from thousands of restaurateurs like you to help support and elect pro-restaurant, pro-business and pro-free enterprise candidates to federal office.

The Restaurant PAC can ask for contributions from the management, professional personnel and stockholders of incorporated members of the National Restaurant Association or affiliated state restaurant associations, only after the corporation has given prior written approval for the year in question.

To join the PAC, give your prior approval today!
