Working hard on behalf of our members
As an affiliate of the national Associated General Contractors of America, MCA carries the message of our membership to local, state, and federal decision makers. With the guidance of our board of directors, MCA demands a seat at the table, representing the needs of the construction industry all day, every day. Whether MCA is advocating for infrastructure funding, weighing in on highway specs, or monitoring Dig Law discussions, we aren’t just a part of the discussion, we are one of the conversation leaders.
MCA Legislative Scorecard
The MCA produces this scorecard following each legislative session to highlight the issues that were most important to the construction industry and advise our members regarding how their elected officials represented their interests through votes on key legislation. New in 2019, we didn’t identify the parties the legislators represent. This was done intentionally, in an effort to demonstrate the MCA’s commitment to being an association that scores its legislators on the way they vote on issues, not their political affiliation.
MCA In Washington, D.C.
Each year, the MCA executive team travels to Washington, D.C. to meet with Montana’s congressional delegation. Local issues in construction, funding, and workforce development are all discussed and brought to their attention.
In addition, MCA officials get the opportunity to meet with the national construction association the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). As part of your membership in the MCA, you are also a member of the AGC, which works tirelessly in our nation’s capital to advocate on the issues that affect your business.
The AGC has created their “Top Legislative Issues” — one-page issue summaries that focus on those specific topics on which they are working. Those summaries can be found online on the AGC’s Congressional Resources website.
