Political Action Center

Use Your Voice

Communicating with public officials reminds them that MBAKS members have their eyes on the issues that impact the homebuilding industry.

Your advocacy could include face-to-face meetings with elected officials, testifying before a local council or board, or sending an email to your elected officials asking for their support on a housing issue.

Whatever your comfort level, we can help you get started. For more information, reach out to our King County, Snohomish County, or Seattle government affairs teams and builders councils.

Members may login to www.MBAKSConnect.com to view exclusive advocacy updates, including Builder Council agendas, weekly legislative reporting, and access MBAKS Resource Library.

Impact fees. Permitting processes. Tree regulations. Design review.

Issues like these don’t just impact builders—they impact the whole housing industry, from real estate agents to concrete contractors and from window installers to plumbing supply companies. Ultimately, they affect our entire regional economy.

Our association actively voices your concerns, but we are only as strong as our members. The more members who participate, the more likely our policy goals will be realized.

So get involved. Create positive change. Help us advocate for housing.
