FAA Delegation Meets with Members of Congress

Print this Article | Send to Colleague

More than three dozen FAA members from Florida traveled to Washington, D.C., last week to take part in the annual Capitol Conference and enjoy a day of grassroots lobbying on Capitol Hill. FAA had appointments with the offices of both U.S. senators from Florida as well as 26 U.S. representatives. Our members discussed our top federal priorities: immigration reform to allow greater guest workers in the construction industry, corporate tax reform, and Section 8 housing reform to lessen the regulatory burdens placed on apartment communities that participate in the voluntary federal housing program.

 FAA members were also treated to a private dinner at the Florida House on Capitol Hill with special guest Congressman John Mica (R-Orlando).
