During an appearance with the NSAC Board of Directors on February 15, Chamber President/CEO, Cristina Aldrete, asked Governor Greg Abbott for help opposing attempts to mandate PSL at the local level.

On April 19, the U.S. International Trade Commission expected to issue its Congressionally mandated assessment of the USMCA's likely economic impact. Now is the time to reach out to members of Congress.
In a call with U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar (Texas District 28), The North SA Chamber learned from the Congressman:
- The Mexican government is "moving on [USMCA] legislation"
- Business groups consider USMCA "crucial to their ability to do business in Texas"
- Differences in the Senate, unhappy with new tariffs, and House, wanting more "enforcement mechanisms," need to be resolved
In our 2019 economic forecast, we made the case that trade policy was the greatest risk to the global and domestic economic outlook. At the time, we expected passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement modernization pact by Congress early in the year and a possible rollback of the trade spat with China. That optimistic forecast has been diminished by a lack of action on the ground and a rapid deceleration of both the U.S. and global growth prospects.
