Jay Jennings, NMTA VP and Director of Government Affairs is a columnist for Nautical Northwest magazine

Every election shapes the future of recreational boating. The officials elected this year will make decisions affecting everything from boating access and marina infrastructure to sport fishing, environmental policy, and the long-term health of our marine industry. While NMTA works year-round to advocate for policies that support boating and marine businesses, informed and engaged voters strengthen those efforts.
