 Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee Attends AGC Houston Government Affairs Committee Meeting

On Friday March 24th, the AGC Houston Government Affairs Committee gathered to discuss issues relevant to the Chapter’s advocacy efforts. The group welcomed guest speaker Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, who talked about about furthering the relationship between the county and the construction industry as a whole. A recap was given of this year’s AGC-TBB Legislative Day, including the priority bills for our industry, all those that AGC-TBB is watching closely (2023 AGC-TBB Legislative Day - bill list + one-pagers, AGC-TBB tracked bills thru March 5 2023, Bills tracked 1-3 as of March 12, Bills tracked 4 + THC as of March 12 ) and the impact our members have had on current legislation. The group also discussed the importance of the PAC (Political Action Committee), which supports the election campaigns of pro-construction candidates. If you’d like to personally impact the process, personal contributions to the PAC can be made, click here. If you are interested in getting more involved, or would like to be more informed on the legislature affecting our industry, please contact Catherine Morgan at Catherine.m@agchouston.org for more information.
