MIRA’s Political Action Committee is the “Voice of the Food, Beverage & Petroleum Industry” in the political process, and needs the financial support of all MIRA members.

All member donations to the MIRA PAC are used solely for candidates for office. None of the money is used for administrative costs.

We need your continued support so that we can continue to battle legislative issues that affect your bottom line. Today more than ever retailers are facing critical issues that will have a lasting effect on how you do business. Click here to find a list of legislative issues which MIRA monitors, opposes or supports on your behalf. We are constantly in communication with legislators to advise them of the impact legislation has on our retailers.

We need your help in these political efforts and hope that you can contribute funds to the PAC.
Please make your donation by personal check or money order (corporate checks are not allowed).

MIRA is a good organization, very community focused,” “The biggest benefit is the government relations interface. They lobby for all of us and work for our rights on issues like federal and state taxes,” “MIRA was behind the initiative to spread food stamps out across the month, which has been very helpful, and they are working hard on the bottle recycling issue, which is painful and expensive for retailers to maintain. We couldn’t do it alone.

My dad has been a member of MIRA for a very long time. All of his stores are members, and it’s a great organization. I feel its programs will be very helpful to its members as the organization keeps growing.

We have a very strong working relationship and alliance with MIRA. We serve many of the same customers/members, and we’re working very closely together to make sure Money Service Businesses have fair access to financial services.

By increasing membership, MIRA can improve the perception of supermarkets in the area. Metro-Detroit is perceived as a food desert, but we have some of the best supermarkets anywhere.

I look forward to building my relationship with Auday and the other board members and being part of such an important association that gives back to the community we serve.

Because MIRA is flourishing while other associations are floundering, I would like to see us broaden the membership base to include other areas such as restaurants and bars.”

“It’s vital to have a strong member base capable of presenting a stronger voice to legislators. Government has failed us during these difficult economic times, and we must do more to promote ourselves and our industry so that we have more control more than our own destiny.
