Associated Builders and Contractors of Western Washington's State Political Action Committee (PAC) provides members the opportunity to contribute personal or corporate funds with the intent to influence state elections.
As members of the construction industry, our Government Affairs Council (GAC) supports candidates who understand what tax burdens and regulations do to small businesses, and who believe in the opportunity for businesses to hire more employees and grow the economy.
This process is a strong focus for GAC we determine who to endorse and how to best spend our PAC dollars. GAC will evaluate candidates through a candidate questionnaire, along with their previous voting record. These tools and others guide our decision making process.
Washington State’s policy landscape has presented hurdles for contractors that embody the merit-shop philosophy. As we move into the 2025 election cycle, ABC remains focused on improving the regulatory environment to support fairness and open competition. We are committed to working collaboratively with strategic partners and industry stakeholders to advocate for balanced and practical solutions that strengthen our industry.
