Several bills in the legislature will have a significant impact on AHPA and its members. Â These bills, referred to as “anti-union” bills, seek to diminish your ability to belong to AHPA. Â The Association needs your help and is asking you to email your respective legislator. Â Attached to this message are two examples that can be used to aid you with this communication. Â The examples are specific to each of the political parties, depending on your legislator. Â Each state Senator and Representative need to know how these bills will impact AHPA and you. Â They also need to understand that AHPA is not beholding to a “national union” – the Board of Directors and the membership dictate the activities of the Association.
When sending emails, please blind copy the AHPA president (president@ahpa.com) and lobbyist (kelsey.lundy@rrpartners.com) so we can track the activity. Â This effort is in conjunction with our public safety association partners.
Your participation is imperative to make sure these bills are defeated. Â Your legislators need to hear from you!
Sincerely,
Jimmy Chavez – AHPA President
