Invite elected officials to your restaurant.Because of tight schedules, elected officials often eat out. Use this opportunity to invite your elected representative to your restaurant for a meal and a meeting. Inviting legislators to your restaurant gives them the chance to see firsthand what is involved in running your business. Find your legislators.

Become a key contact.If you know any legislators personally, please join the DRA’s key contact program by emailing [email protected].
