Please take a minute now to prepare to support the Essex-Middle River-White Marsh Chamber of Commerce during the legislative session.  

Our Legislative Committee will be working diligently throughout the session to review bills of interest to the business community, take positions, and communicate with our elected officials.  Our representatives have told us that they want to hear from us on business issues. 

From time to time, we will ask you to contact your representatives and ask them to support the Chamber's position on an important bill.  These are priority issues. 

 This is very, very easy to do!

 We'll provide you with information to share regarding each issue, including a copy of the Chamber's correspondence with them, if available.

 If you prefer to make a phone call, here's a list of the elected officials' numbers (It's also on our new Legislative Palm Card, if you've received one):
