  • The Three-Tier System and Its Role on Safety: Advocating for policies that ensure safe and responsible alcohol distribution. 

  • Public Safety vs Profits: Ensuring that regulations promote a safe and controlled environment for alcohol sales. 

  • Direct to Consumer Sales: Addressing the evolving landscape of direct-to-consumer alcohol sales and advocating for a balanced approach. 

  • Liquor in a Can (RTDs): Working to shape legislation around the growing market for ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages.
