In this week’s Working Lunch, Joe Kefauver and Franklin Coley of Align Public Strategies speak with Mike Whatley, vice president of state affairs and grassroots advocacy at the National Restaurant Association, about the Nov. 4 election results. What were the surprise wins for the restaurant industry, and how will the results shape next year’s legislative agenda?
In addition, the podcast discusses a new coalition organized to push back against state-level MAHA copycat bills, and to push the federal government for preemption over ingredient laws for manufacturers.
