2016 will mark Ellison Wilson Advocacy’s 23rd anniversary representing the California Tow Truck Association at our state Capitol. During this period the team at Ellison Wilson Advocacy, working in close collaboration with the CTTA Legislative Committee, has successfully defended the towing industry against harmful legislation and regulations, while lobbying for new laws and requirements that have a positive impact on your industry. CTTA has been successful because of our very active, aggressive and committed Legislative Committee and our extremely effective and highly respected team of lobbyists from Ellison Wilson Advocacy, LLC. Following this November’s election, the dynamics at the State Legislature will change dramatically and it is now more important than ever that the CTTA focus on a strong legislative program as the towing industry will undoubtedly face serious challenges.
