Energy Marketers of America Files First Quarter Lobbying Disclosure, Focus Undefined
Energy Marketers of America (EMA) spent $160,000 on lobbying in Q1 2026, but unusually did not specify which issues were the focus of their efforts.Summary
Energy Marketers of America (EMA), a trade association representing fuel dealers, filed its first quarter 2026 lobbying disclosure, reporting $160,000 in spending – $130,000 in-house and $30,000 through Squire Patton Boggs. This spending is consistent with previous quarters. However, unlike prior filings, EMA did not detail specific policy areas of focus. This omission is notable given recent congressional and regulatory activity concerning fuel marketer concerns, such as a Senate request to the EPA regarding cargo tank vapor tightness rules and proposed rules for the Clean Fuel Production Credit. EMA’s lobbying team remained stable, with Sherri Stone and Rob Underwood continuing their roles. While the specific agenda is unclear, the organization’s consistent lobbying presence and the active legislative landscape suggest continued engagement on core membership concerns related to fuel supply, tax policy, and regulatory compliance.
