MBA Advocacy Week: MAA Pre-Election Webinar

As part of MBA Advocacy Week (September 14-18) —a dedicated effort to strengthen MBA’s advocacy programs—MBA’s Legislative & Political Affairs team will host a special MAA Pre Election Webinar in recognition of National Voter Registration Day. This session will walk through the race to key federal deadlines, including efforts to avert a potential government shutdown, and provide an update on priority industry issues that are either advancing now or expected to be taken up in the next Congress. Attendees will also receive a clear, nonpartisan overview of the current congressional landscape and the key races to watch ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

This webinar is designed to equip MAA members and industry advocates with the context and insight needed to stay engaged and informed during a pivotal moment for housing policy and the broader legislative agenda.
