ABC National's government affairs program is designed to protect and advance the merit shop construction industry. We do this by working at all levels of government, federal, state and local. ABC National is the main contact point for federal affairs, and our 79 chapters are the primary contact for state and local affairs. However, we are a team that works collaboratively to assist our membership and our industry.

Electing candidates that believe in open competition and free enterprise is the first step in our fight against PLAs, the prevailing wage and other merit shop issues. Contact
