Political Action Committees

The Inland Northwest AGC and AGC of America each sponsor a nonpartisan political action committee (PAC) that gives eligible member company employees the chance to add their voices and influence to the political process.

There are two PACs at work - the BuildEast PAC specifically for NWAGC members to share their voices and the National AGC of America PAC in which members from all over the country come together to cut through the noise and address legislation with a united voice.

AGC PACs pool together voluntary, personal donations and uses those funds to support federal candidates who, regardless of party affiliation, understand the construction industry and the specific needs, interests, and concerns of member companies and their employees.

The only way to ensure progress continues for the industry is to grow the number of construction-friendly legislators in Congress, and we’re working hard to make that happen. Once elected, AGC can then call upon these advocates to help advance legislation that:

• Improves the pipeline for the construction workforce
• Promotes programs that expand infrastructure investment
• Influences legislation on environmental and climate change issues
• Blocks and improves regulatory measures targeting construction
• Ensures tax policies benefit companies equally

PACs help construction industry professionals have a seat at the table in government and help us shape policy. After all, as the old adage goes: If you don't have a seat at the table, you're on the menu.
