Protecting TNLA Member Businesses & the  Texas Green Industry

TNLA Political Action Committee

Protecting the Future of Texas' Green Industry

The Texas Nursery & Landscape Association Political Action Committee helps ensure the green industry has a voice where important decisions are made.

Why TNLA PAC Matters

Relationships Matter

Political contributions do not buy votes. They help create opportunities for meaningful communication with the elected officials who shape policy affecting Texas businesses.

These relationships help ensure the green industry's perspective is part of the conversation before important decisions are made.

Workforce

Supporting reliable labor programs and practical workforce policy.

02

Water

Advocating for long-term supply, conservation and infrastructure.

03

Taxes and Regulations

Supporting policies that reduce unnecessary business burdens.

04

Business Climate

Helping protect jobs, investment and industry growth.

Nearly $300,000

contributed since TNLA PAC's inception to candidates who support and understand the nursery and landscape industry.

Relationships Beyond the Contribution

TNLA staff and members regularly engage with supported candidates, participate in campaign activities and continue building relationships after elections are over.

This ongoing involvement makes each contribution more meaningful and gives the green industry a stronger foundation for future policy conversations.
