Commerce Lexington Releases 2026 Policy Statements & State Legislative Priorities
Business leaders are often too busy attracting investments and creating jobs to focus large amounts of time on monitoring legislation and regulations, analyzing their effect and advocating for their passage, defeat or modification. That’s why Commerce Lexington and its Public Policy Council gather the top experts in a variety of industries, harness that knowledge, and advocate for the interests of business in the halls of our State Capitol or the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government to create a more business-friendly environment. Each year, we work with you – our member investors – to identify issues affecting the business community and spotlight the best public policy solutions. Our strong working relationships with local, state and federal officials mean that you will be well-represented and your voice will be magnified by the more than 1,900 members on whose behalf we speak.
Commerce Lexington's Public Policy Council is the entity that takes the lead in the organization’s advocacy efforts. The council members and chair are all volunteers and represent a variety of large and small businesses, local government, nonprofit organizations, education groups and utilities comprising a broad spectrum of Commerce Lexington's member companies. The Council's chairperson is appointed annually by the Chair of the Board of Commerce Lexington.
If you have questions, need assistance with a policy issue, or would like to get involved with advocacy efforts, contact Andi Johnson, Chief Policy Officer and Director of Regional Engagement, at [email protected] or P. Anthony Allen, Vice President, Public Policy at [email protected].
