Members of OHI (formerly National ARVC) leadership and campground owners continued meeting with legislative leaders in Washington D.C. on Monday (June 3) as part of Advocacy Week.
David Basler, OHI’s Chief Strategy Officer, and Ali Rasmussen, co-owner of Spacious Skies Campgrounds and OHI Board Member, spent the day meeting with senators to advocate for RV parks and campgrounds all across the country, according to a post on social media.
OHI representatives are set to meet with more than 30 key members of Congress as they focus primarily on legislation that would lower taxes and fees levied on small businesses, including the Credit Card Competition Act, the Main Street Tax Certainty Act and the Death Tax Repeal Act.
In addition, the team is working on draft legislation that would provide a 90-day cure period to allow small businesses to remedy website-based ADA compliance issues before a lawsuit could be filed.
Representing OHI this week in Washington are:
- David Basler, OHI Chief Strategy Officer;
- Mike Gurevich, owner of Cherry Hill Park, in College Park, Md.;
- Ali Rasmussen, OHI Board of Directors member, and Founder, CEO and creative director of Spacious Skies Campgrounds, which owns 15 campgrounds in 10 states; and
- Matt Rose, executive director of the Indiana Campground Owners Association.
In addition to this full week of meetings, OHI representatives are also attending events during RVs Move America Week, an annual RV industry advocacy event hosted by the RV Industry Association.
