Meet Our 2025-2026 Legislative Committee

Legislative Advocacy is a core pillar of Metro West’s mission, giving our member communities a united voice in Springfield. At the heart of this effort is our Legislative Committee. This group gathers information on the issues that matter most to our communities, keeps members informed of current legislation and coordinates a unified approach. As the legislature returns to session, we are pleased to introduce you to our 2025-2026 committee.
