AMAC Action 2020 Annual Advocacy Report

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AMAC Action established a strong relationship with the Trump White House to the extent where we were consistently called upon to offer our recommendations on policy issues sensitive to Americans who are age 50 plus. These issues include health care, drug pricing and law enforcement. Additionally, the Trump White House specifically sought AMAC members to personally attend and offer testimonials for Presidential press conferences, Executive Order announcements and roundtable discussions. AMAC’S 2020 PROACTIVE COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY POLICY ANALYSES, MEDIA INTERVIEWS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND PRESS RELEASES AMAC’s national spokesperson Robert B.
