Government Affairs
Advocacy is one of the most impactful services INEDA provides. We actively lobby at both the state and federal levels to protect the interests of equipment dealers across Iowa and Nebraska. With lobbyists in both states and a Director of Dealer and Government Relations monitoring federal issues, we work diligently to hold elected officials accountable and safeguard the long-term success of your business.
Beyond the Capitol, we connect dealers directly with policymakers through Legislative Meetings, Golf Outings, candidate visits, and our annual Washington, D.C. Fly-In—where dealerships receive stipends to support their participation. Combined with weekly legislative updates, roundtable discussions, and long-standing relationships with key officials, our advocacy ensures your voice is heard and your best interests are represented.
