NECA Government Affairs
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) & Tariffs

The below brief survey is meant to educate our leadership and Government Affairs team on the current impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act and the Trump Administration’s tariff policies. As NECA continues to engage with policy makers in the House, Senate, Executive Branch, and partner organizations, these surveys will allow us to best communicate with officials in Washington, D.C. on how to support the critical work of NECA members. Please take a moment to fill out these surveys, providing as much detail as you are able.
