Government Relations

Welcome to the West Texas AGC Legislative Action Center!

“We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.” – Thomas Jefferson

Some elections are behind us while others are set before us. There are both veteran and new faces in every level of government that serve the areas in the West Texas AGC Chapter. Just as it is our right and responsibility to vote, it is our right and responsibility to support those in office both financially and with the expertise from our industry. It is imperative that as citizens, we become informed throughout the year about the issues that affect our companies, your families and your communities, and making sure our legislators hear from us before making important decisions.

There are elected officials serving our communities, the great State of Texas and the U.S. who will be making decisions that affect our companies and our employees. The good news is that you can make a difference by getting involved! This website has all the tools you need to not only learn more about legislators and candidates but also the issues that matter to West Texas AGC Chapter and AGC of America. Now it is up to you, to take the next step, by making your voice heard, be involved and as needed, contact your legislators about issues that affect you.
