Advocacy

Government Relations

Alabama AGC actively advocates for policies that support the construction industry, working with government leaders to protect and advance your business.

Powerful Voice in Government

The Alabama AGC actively participates in the legislative process at all levels of government to support the construction industry. We monitor and influence legislation impacting economic and infrastructure development, advocating for favorable and opposing bills. We keep our members informed during the legislative session through weekly email alerts and website updates. By working with elected officials on industry issues, we strive to create a successful future for construction.

“The state PAC is a great help to me in the legislature, and being able to help candidates when they are running for office is a great tool for us. In addition, our grassroots efforts and being able to mobilize AGC’s members is a critical element to our success.”

Trace Zarr, Alabama AGC’s Director of Governmental Relations
