Our Team
The CHPA state and local government affairs team works to advance and protect the interests of over-the-counter (OTC) consumer healthcare product manufacturers before legislative and regulatory bodies at the state and local level. We monitor policy activities and legislation in all 50 states, advocating on behalf of the consumer healthcare product industry by working with state lawmakers and officials in crafting a regulatory environment conducive to affordable and accessible healthcare. Guided by the CHPA State & Local Government Affairs Committee, our team executes on strategies to gain support for policies that create a consumer friendly environment for OTC medications, dietary supplements, and consumer medical devices.
