Â鶹ɫ²¥ members made their annual pilgrimage to Capitol Hill May 16–18, meeting with Senators and Members of Congress to voice how vitally important the truckstop and travel plaza industry is to the national economy and how Congressional votes affect its ability to thrive.
The event included a kickoff luncheon where esteemed political consultants Brad Todd and J.B. Poersch, two of the country’s top political strategists, teamed up to discuss the Presidential election, its potential impact on the ballot races as well as to explain the arcane rules of the upcoming Republican and Democratic conventions.
Tuesday evening Â鶹ɫ²¥ hosted its annual Capitol Hill pie reception, serving nearly 250 pies to legislators and their staff. This annual event carries Â鶹ɫ²¥’s name to all 535 Members of Congress.
Wednesday, Â鶹ɫ²¥ members attended a Congressional breakfast with Congressman Tom Cole (R-Okla.). Rep. Cole, who was elected in 2002, discussed national politics, including his outlook on the Presidential election and the current political landscape.
After breakfast, the more than 50 Â鶹ɫ²¥ members gathered in Washington, D.C., met with their elected officials.
