The Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) has achieved a historic feat with its Political Action Committee (PAC) raising an unprecedented $1 million in 2024 alone, marking the first time such a record-breaking figure has been reached in a single year. This significant accomplishment elevates the AAHOA PAC’s total for the 2023-2024 cycle to $1.5 million, reflecting the unwavering dedication of AAHOA members to advancing advocacy efforts for hotel owners and ensuring their concerns resonate at all levels of government.

“Reaching the $1 million milestone is a remarkable achievement, and I want to personally thank our AAHOA Members for their steadfast commitment, generous contributions, and active participation in the AAHOA PAC,” said Miraj S. Patel, AAHOA Chairman and 2024-25 PAC Fundraising Chair. Patel highlighted the importance of these funds in empowering AAHOA to champion policies that benefit hotel owners. “The funds raised will enable AAHOA to further its mission of advocating for hotel owners and supporting policies that foster growth and protect owner investments. This is a testament to the dedication and engagement of our members, who understand the importance of investing in advocacy to shape the future of hospitality. By ‘Building Tomorrow Today,’ we’re positioning AAHOA to effectively advocate for the issues that matter most to our members—now and in the years to come.”

The AAHOA PAC plays a pivotal role in supporting legislative and regulatory initiatives that directly impact hotel owners across the United States. With its bolstered resources, the organization can strengthen its efforts to influence policymaking on critical issues such as access to capital, equitable labor practices, tax reforms, and prioritizing the hospitality industry’s needs at the national, state, and local levels.

Laura Lee Blake, AAHOA President & CEO, expressed pride in the members’ collective commitment to the organization’s advocacy goals. “The record-breaking support of our PAC is a testament to the power of AAHOA’s collective voice. As an organization, we are not just advocating for hotel owners; we are standing up for the future of the hospitality industry as a whole. Together, we will continue to make a meaningful impact for future generations of hotel owners.”

The unprecedented success of the AAHOA PAC is driven by voluntary contributions from its members, who recognize the critical need for a united front in addressing government policies that affect their industry. This milestone reinforces AAHOA’s ability to maintain a strong presence in policy discussions, ensuring its members’ perspectives are represented and their interests safeguarded.

As AAHOA continues to advance its mission, this achievement underscores the enduring commitment of its members to fostering a robust advocacy framework.
