Industry Advocacy

​Hospitality Business is a Game of Percentages:
​We Fight for Your Profit Margins!

As every slight change or shift in the economy and in the hospitality industry impacts your profit margin, the MHRA is the voice of the hospitality and restaurant industries at all levels of government.

​From the city/county level to the state legislature, the MHRA government affairs team monitors legislation that could potentially impact the hospitality and restaurant industries and takes action to protect and promote them.

Fighting in Mississippi

We are YOUR voice to power.
​

  • MHRA fueled realize significant financial impact when the Mississippi legislature passed law reducing the additional privilege fee on the purchase of wine and spirits. 
  • We passed legislation in 2023 ago prohibiting third party delivery companies from using a restaurant's logo and menu without permission.  
  • Also in 2023, we helped pass legislation prohibiting a third party delivery company from using a restaurant's logo or menu without written authorization. 

MHRA maintains ongoing communication and advocacy with the state legislature and regulatory bodies regarding the implementation of the Seafood Labeling Act. We continue to listen to our members as they navigate compliance and advocate for their voices as legislators monitor the law as if affects hospitality operators across the state.


Fighting Nationally

The MHRA also supports the government affairs efforts of the National Restaurant Association (NRA) in our nation’s capital. And the MHRA works directly with Mississippi's U.S. Senators and Representatives on federal legislation to protect and promote our industries at the federal level.
 
Restaurants Act is the restaurant industry’s grassroots and resource center, a one-stop hub for restaurants, employees, customers, and industry partners.

No policy decision happens in a vacuum. There is a ripple effect on most issues that will ultimately touch our businesses.
 
We need to ensure that individuals of all parties represent our best interests. We need individuals who are sensitive to our positions and understand how they affect our industries.
 
We respectfully request your financial support for the MHRA’s Political Action Committee (PAC). Our PAC provides bipartisan support for candidates whose platforms and positions are consistent with those of our industries.
 
Every PAC donation helps us protect our industries from harmful legislation and provides a foundation for getting positive, proactive, and meaningful legislation passed.
