Legislative Advocacy
Legislative Advocacy is a core pillar of Metro West's mission, giving our member communities a united voice in Springfield. Through coordinated efforts such as our Drive Down Days, members have opportunities to meet legislators, state agency leaders and even the Governor to advocate for local priorities. These efforts are amplified by the power of our collective voice, ensuring that the concerns of the Metro West region are heard. By working together, we are stronger, more visible and more effectively shape policy supporting our communities.
