The Michigan Primary election saw 2.1 million voters across the state of Michigan, and amongst the winners were 71 Friends of Retail.
“MRA’s Friends of Retail have demonstrated they will advance public policy benefitting Michigan’s retail sector and consumers across our state,” William J. Hallan, President and CEO of Michigan Retailers Association. “This designation is a solid indicator that these candidates understand the hard work and challenges that our industry has experienced over the last several years, and that they will fight to help us recover from the pandemic and continue growing.”
Candidates were designated by MRA’s Legislative Committee and are based on an analysis of voting records and candidate questionnaires. Current elected officials earning a Friend of Retail designation demonstrated through their votes on and sponsorship of key issues, while candidates earning a Friend of Retail designation demonstrated through their answers to critical policy questions that they understand the importance of the retail industry to Michigan’s economy.
