Meetings

IOWA – On June 19, members from across Iowa met at Copper Creek in Pleasant Hill, IA. Cornerstone gave a recap of the 2025 Iowa session and relevant legislation that was passed. They also previewed possible 2026 legislation.

On the Federal level, Daniel Fisher with Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) provided an update on the latest with the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” and what it means for equipment dealers.

Members also offered their insights on state and federal legislation and issues and discussed opportunities like the Iowa Legislative Reception and the Washington DC Fly-In as ways to get involved in shaping public policy.

We continue to see contributions to the PAIDPAC increase over previous years. Thank you! Our goal is to raise $30,000 for the 2026 election cycle. I will be visiting dealers throughout the summer to continue to add to the PAC in preparation for the 2026 elections and campaign contributions. Your support and willingness to participate in hosting and supporting candidates really makes a difference!
