ABC is an active advocate of free enterprise, smaller more efficient government and a level playing field at all levels of government. ABC of Western Washington has three lobbyists dealing with state issues in Olympia and a coordinator in the Bellevue office. ABC is represented on the state's Prevailing Wage Advisory Committee. In addition, ABC is represented on the Executive Committee of the Washington Construction Industry Council, the coalition that coordinates lobbying on construction issues statewide.
ABC is interested in many of the issues that affect construction and small business in general, such as workers comp and safety, unemployment insurance, tax reform and contracting out. However, ABC takes the lead on issues that impact having open markets and level playing fields for all contractors such as apprenticeship reform, prevailing wage reform and project labor agreements.
