> wanting repairable products is something most consumers don't even think about at time of purchase

This is the core of the problem. The coalition pushing for these laws doesn’t include most consumers. Absent an expensive ad push, I don’t see that changing.

Takeaway: make hay where the sun shines. Focus on farming states and those with lots of dealerships and repair shops. Maybe put an anti-Musk / anti-Tesla angle on it in blue states.

This is why organizations are pushing for repeatability scores to be printed on purchasable items, I think that would go a long way towards hinting that this issue is important for consumers in the long run.

Focus on farming also gives the issue a bi-partisan spin, which is something you really need to make any actual progress on issues in US politics these days.

Credentials. Not spin. The farmers are actually calling for this.
