The CAA Advocacy Team

We believe in having the best team of advocates in place who have years of experience in their respective states and at the federal government level.

Dedicated Advocacy for the Cigar Industry

Our team ensures prompt responses and actions when governmental regulatory issues or proposed legislation arise that would negatively impact the cigar industry. Seeking the most favorable and timely outcome for our members is the top priority of our advocacy efforts.

Our federal advocacy team in Washington, D.C. works closely with one another on regulatory affairs and federal issues that impact our members. Our network of state advocates spans from coast to coast and includes: the Eastern, the Midwestern, and the Western regions.
