In this week’s Working Lunch, Joe Kefauver and Franklin Coley of Align Public Strategies discuss the political and policy impact of Steak ‘n Shake’s recent appointment of a chief MAHA officer.
Steak ‘n Shake has never been shy when it comes to professing admiration of the Trump administration, they contend. Has the tough economy emboldened the restaurant industry to enter into legislative frays that might previously have been seen as politically dangerous?
In addition, a new industry coalition is taking on the administration on immigration, as well as looking to lower—yes, lower— server wages in Denver.
The podcast takes a look at those issues, and wraps it up with a legislative scorecard.
