Despite Political Polls and Predictions, Funeral Service Must Find Electoral Voice

Written by Timothy Penno

Don't rely on polls and predictions to determine who governs you and your business. Let your voice be heard. The article Despite Political Polls and Predictions, Funeral Service Must Find Electoral Voice, written by Timothy Penno, NFDA's legislative analyst, discusses poll results and predictions for this year's congressional and presidential elections. Through the active political involvement of funeral directors, NFDA successfully lobbied to include funeral directors protection in the Ryan White CARE Act, maintain funeral fund resource exclusions in Medicaid and exclude funeral directors from onerous OSHA regulations. To continue this legislative success, funeral directors need to continue participating in the political process. Vote and make your voice and the voice of funeral service heard this November 5.
