Since 1952, the Minnesota Retailers Association (MnRA) has been the champion of Minnesota retailers, both large and small. Our 1,500 plus members are a diverse group, ranging from companies like Target and Bachman’s to the Norby's Department Store in Detroit Lakes and the Uffda Shop in Red Wing. At the Minnesota Retailers Association, it is our duty to preserve and enhance a vital retail industry by providing a unified voice for the industry; taking a leadership position in the development of public policy and regulatory measures that impact members; enhancing the public image of the retail industry; and by providing information, services, and support to our members. For over 53 years, we’ve worked to make Minnesota a better place
to do retail business by giving private-sector employers a voice in
state politics and providing a full range of Minnesota-specific products
and services. Experience has taught us that Minnesota retailers need
comprehensive support on key issues like health care, workers
compensation, and business taxes. Not only do we give you the tools to
make compliance easier after laws are passed, we work within state politics
to ensure fair legislation and a pro-business climate. MnRA is an advocate on behalf of the retail industry at the Minnesota State Capitol. MnRA analyzes proposed laws and regulations and testifies before committees and agencies to guarantee that the retail voice is being heard. MnRA also lobbies and educates government and the general public on retail and the concerns and priorities of the retail business in the marketplace. Our lobbying team, following the standards set by our founders in 1952,
closely follows issues that affect retailer’s bottom line, using
the collective clout of our membership to make the necessary changes
in the political system, which adds value and profitability to retailers.
Our president and head lobbyist, is a former legislator and leads our
lobbying efforts in conjunction with one of Minnesota’s premier
law firms. Together, they present a strong lobbying force at the state
capitol to battle the issues that affect retail business in Minnesota.
