economic climate is vital to our region’s success and the ability of our businesses to thrive is vitally important. Every day, we support our members by pursuing legislation that makes it easier and more cost-effective for businesses to succeed. An aggressive annual legislative agenda and legislative updates ensure that our most vital partners – our members – are current on the issues affecting their businesses and our economy. A key aspect of the Chamber’s work in this arena is an effective lobbying effort at the Oklahoma State Capitol. A component of that effort is the Greater OKC Chamber Political Action Committee , one of the most influential PACs in the region that strengthens the influence of Oklahoma City’s business community through the election of candidates who support our priority issues.

During each legislative session, our government relations team works on behalf of the business community to advocate for pro-business legislation and create an even stronger climate for our members to conduct business.
