Government Affairs

Overview

The Chamber serves as the lead advocate for business at all levels of government. By developing positions on issues of public policy and communicating these positions, the Chamber creates value for its members. The Chamber provides a forum for the business voice to be heard. As a result, state, local, and federal leaders seek the audience of our members and their opinion with regard to public policy.

With several key business issues at the forefront in 2010, the election in Minnesota’s first congressional district could impact the businesses of southern Minnesota for years to come. The Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce believes it is important for the business community to get good information from the candidates on their positions relating to job creation and other issues that affect the business climate in our community.

To better understand candidate positions on critical business issues, ten chambers of commerce from across Minnesota’s First Congressional District have come together to provide their members with a candidate survey in the Congressional race, including the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce. Randy Demmer, Lars Johnson, Congressman Tim Walz and Steven Wilson, received and completed the questionnaire.
