On Wednesday, December 17 at 10:00 a.m. ET, The Capitol Forum will host Stacy Mitchell, Co-Executive Director at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, for a conference call discussing a new report examining Amazon’s influence over public procurement and its impact on competition, costs, and local economies.

Join us to learn more about:

  • How Amazon’s contracts with cities, counties, and school districts bypass procurement safeguards while inflating costs.
  • How independent suppliers outperform Amazon on price, service, and transparency, while keeping public dollars local.
  • How Amazon’s market dominance is reducing competition, putting local governments at risk of paying higher prices and losing flexibility.
  • Policy recommendations at the local and federal levels to restore oversight, ensure fair pricing, and strengthen local economies.
