Advocacy News – July 31, 2025
Over the past year, employers have faced a political and policy environment marked by volatility and unpredictability. Legislative priorities have shifted, new regulatory burdens have emerged and businesses have increasingly found themselves at the center of highly charged debates.
Why it matters: In response, the MI Chamber has remained focused on what matters most: advocating for a strong economy and advancing a pro-business, pro-growth agenda.
A new report released this week by the Chamber outlines the results of that work — real wins for real businesses — including workforce training dollars, defeat of tax increases, new R&D tax credits, and more.
Looking Ahead: The Chamber’s work is far from over. As the 2025-26 legislative session continues, the stakes will remain high for business. But with a unified voice, data-driven advocacy and the support of members across the state, the Chamber is ready to meet the moment.
Bottom line: The environment for employers may be growing more complex and confrontational — but so is our resolve to protect and advance what matters.
- This report is a snapshot of progress, but also a promise: that your priorities will continue to shape our agenda, and your success will always be our mission.
