SSCCLC 2025 Legislative Priorities
The South Sound Chambers of Commerce Legislative Coalition (SSCCLC) remains focused on Economic
Vitality and Growth for the South Sound region. Full funding of transportation infrastructure and investments in human beings through education and other workforce policies are keys to both our state’s and region’s economic success. But that success will be short-lived without also ensuring that businesses, particularly our small businesses, are not overburdened with taxes, regulations, and other costs.
South Sound businesses are still challenged by labor shortages and continued increases in costs for goods and supplies despite the good economy. We urge our representatives in the Legislature to focus on policies that encourage the economic viability of existing and the creation of new firms, which will lead to long-term job creation. We need to increase the supply of a job-ready workforce and reduce costs for businesses and citizens who are struggling to make ends meet.
Below are key issues the SSCCLC member Chambers believes are imperative for our region:
Transportation
Public Safety
Budget and Taxes
Support for Small Businesses
Housing Attainability
Childcare
Health Care
Ensure Continued Investments in Workforce Education (K-12, CTE, and Higher Ed.)
Energy and Climate Change
