WRA Legislative Action Capitol BuildingLegislative Action

Every day, government makes policy decisions that affect the fate of small business - decisions that determine whether your restaurant will flourish or flounder.

"I’m going to be in this industry for 30 or 40 years.  The decisions made today are going to affect me for a long time.”

- Matt Kealy,
Kealy’s Kafe and Matt’s Dog House of Janesville

Politics impacts:

  • Your tax rates
  • Regulations that make it hard to do business
  • Wages you pay your employees
  • How you handle your food
  • When you can schedule teen employees to work
  • How much you pay for licensing fees
  • Bans on products that you sell
  • the list goes on!  

"WRA represents the interests of all small businesses.  Advocating on our behalf and helping us be effective communicators with elected officials.”

- Paul Cunningham,
Schreiner’s Restaurant in Fond du Lac

WRA opposes legislation that is bad for small businesses and supports legislation to promote, protect and improve our industry as a whole.

"WRA fights for our causes to keep our business profitable.  They put a face to our industry in the government.”

- Mark Landreman, Landreman’s Family Restaurant in Kaukauna

WRA protects your interests. WRA helps our members.

  • Sends alerts on pending legislation and urgent industry news
  • Answers questions on changing regulations
  • Gives advice on how to legally handle a situation
  • Communicates and meets face-to-face with lawmakers
  • Fights for pro-restaurant issues
  • Informs and influences policy makers on challenges impacting our industry

WRA gets you in touch with government to get your voice heard and get results.  The stakes are too high for a business to not be involved.

"As a small operator, my opinions would be hard to make known or carry any weight without the benefit of WRA representation.”

- Steve Davis, Ardy & Ed’s Drive In in Oshkosh
