Following the Nov. 4 election of Senator Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States, ABC National Chairman William D. Fairchild congratulated Obama on his victory.
“Working together in a spirit of collaboration and bipartisanship, no challenge is too great for the American people, the White House and Congress to solve together,” said Fairchild.
“Many daunting challenges face America today and ABC looks forward to working with the Obama administration on tax policy, workforce development, immigration, and green building issues, as well as the new technologies being developed and implemented to address our nation’s energy needs, among others,” Fairchild continued.
“With nearly 25,000 merit shop builders and contractors nationwide, our members and their employees represent the very heart of America – those men and women who love our country and its free-enterprise philosophy and want to succeed by embracing the opportunity to work in collaboration with the nation’s leadership to address the challenges we face today.”
