Advocacy Fund

Contributions to the ORA's advocacy fund equip the ORA to fight issues and mandates that would:

  • Be devastating to Ohio’s hospitality industry

  • Negatively impact Ohio’s economy

  • Inhibit Ohio’s future growth potential

The Association continues its support of policies that promote a pro-growth business environment in Ohio.

Through its political action committee, the ORA supports ideas, legislation and proposed laws that stimulate the economy and protect the growth of Ohio's restaurant, foodservice & hospitality industry. The ORA opposes ideas, legislation and proposed laws that could harm the success of ORA members’ businesses.
