On February 18, the next Congressional district work week begins. During this time, AGC encourages you to meet with your Representatives and Senators to build stronger relationships and inform them about issues facing the construction industry. Meetings can include meetings in the member’s office, inviting them to a board meeting or having them tour a construction site to give them a hands-on learning experience.
During these meetings, AGC encourages you to urge your member of Congress to support an infrastructure bill that creates long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund, encourages greater direct federal infrastructure investment and strengthens existing infrastructure tools like the Private Activity bonds. Additionally, we hope you urge your member of Congress to promote a strong workforce that ensures adequate federal funding for skills-based education programs, reforms higher education to better prepare a workforce and enact comprehensive immigration reform.
