Congressional Visits
During the National & Chapter Leadership Conference, time is set aside on September 24th and 25th for attendees to meet with their federal elected officials on Capitol Hill on pressing construction industry issues. To help with those visits, AGC of America provides one-page issue summaries below.
The “Top Legislative Issues” one-page issue summaries will be printed and stuffed in folders attendees can take to their meetings for discussion with members of Congress and their staff. These folders, in addition to other one-page issue summaries noted below, will be available at the AGC of America Political Action Committee booth for pickup during the conference.
For questions about Capitol Hill visits or these one-page issue summaries, please contact Isabella Dumas at isabella.dumas@agc.org.
