Alabama AGC PAC said its decision reflects the organization’s longstanding involvement in the political process and its focus on issues affecting Alabama’s construction industry, employers and workforce.

“Advocacy is an important part of Alabama AGC’s responsibility to the construction industry,” Alex Whaley II of Whaley Construction in Troy and Alabama AGC’s representative on the AGC of America Political Action Committee said. “Our industry is directly affected by decisions made at every level of government, and it is important that contractors remain engaged in that process. The Alabama AGC PAC evaluates candidates with an emphasis on the issues affecting construction, economic development, infrastructure and Alabama businesses.”

“Alabama AGC has a long history of advocating for the men and women who build our state,” Alabama AGC CEO Billy Norrell said. “That work includes building relationships with elected officials and candidates and making sure they understand the challenges and opportunities facing contractors. Through the Alabama AGC PAC, our members have a voice in the political process and an opportunity to support candidates whose records and positions align with issues important to Alabama’s construction industry.”

“We are proud to endorse Rhett Marques for Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District,” HBAA First Vice President Jim Mathews said. “Rhett is a proven fighter for all Alabamians. We are confident that his leadership will help roll back unnecessary and burdensome regulations and, in doing so, will help make the American dream of homeownership a reality for all.”
