2025-2026 Federal Priorities

Every two years, AGC of America outlines a set of federal legislative and regulatory priorities designed to strengthen and support the construction industry. Developed in collaboration with association leaders from across the country and industry divisions, these priorities reflect the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing contractors today. From workforce development and infrastructure investment to tax policy and regulatory reform, AGC’s 2025–2026 policy principles aim to create a stable, competitive environment where construction businesses can grow, innovate, and thrive.

Below are our top 10 policy principles:

  • Increase Investment in and Incentives for Public and Private Construction to Support Jobs and Economic Growth
  • Improve the Pipeline for a Safe, Trained and Diverse Construction Workforce
  • Preserve the Delicate Balance in Federal Labor Policy that Permits Employees to Freely Choose to Engage in Collective Bargaining and that Allows Employers to Maintain Operations Free of Unwarranted Disruptions
  • Advance Policies that Mitigate Supply Chain Challenges and Address Cost Increases and Project Delays
  • Ensure that Tax and Fiscal Policies Promote Entrepreneurialism and Long-Term Economic Growth
  • Support Regulations, Policies, Guidance, and Executive Orders that Are Necessary, Cost-Effective, and Practical
  • Streamline The Federal Procurement Process to Save Money, Increase Competition and Improve Opportunities for Small Business
