Jason Tolleson with Tim Reed, "HPBA Government Affairs Podcast: July 2026"
Description
"They got to meet in his hideaway office in the Capitol itself"—one of 52 meetings HPBA members packed into less than eight hours on the Hill. In this episode, Tim and Jason Tolleson (Senior Director of Government Affairs, HPBA) break down the recent Washington, DC fly-in, where retailers and Government Affairs Leadership Academy participants swarmed Capitol Hill to advocate for the industry. They also dig into where the national fuel choice bill stands and what's really happening in the EPA conversations around NSPS. In this episode, Tim and Jason cover: - How the fuel choice bill exploded from 39 co-sponsors to 157—and why Congressman Langworthy's office called out HPBA members by name for it. - Why the bill sits on the union calendar in limbo—and how a razor-thin House majority turns a single sick member into a stalled vote. - What "cautiously optimistic" actually means for the next NSPS draft rule—and where the industry drew its lines with the EPA. Don't miss Jason's play-by-play of first-time lobbyists riding the DC Metro to grill a chief of staff on California policy provisions—proof that advocacy isn't reserved for the seasoned vets, and that the real work starts when everyone heads home. —— This episode is a production of The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association and The Fire Time Network. * You can learn more about the HPBA—and get involved—by visiting https://www.hpba.org [https://www.hpba.org/] * Get free access to The Fire Time Magazine every month by going to https://www.itsfiretime.com/subscribe [https://www.itsfiretime.com/subscribe]
