The Associated General Contractors of America Political Action Committee (AGC PAC) is a powerful construction industry fund that empowers AGC member company employees to make their voices heard and influence the political process.
In the face of active political involvement by industry opponents and competitors advocating for their interests, it is crucial to safeguard the construction industry's priorities and the livelihoods it supports. To protect the construction industry and the people who depend on it, active political engagement is necessary, and that’s why AGC PAC exists.

Through voluntary donations, AGC PAC pools resources to support candidates running who understand the unique needs and interests of AGC member companies and their employees.

Our steadfast determination and commitment in the political arena have earned us widespread recognition and respect on Capitol Hill, placing us among the top 100 trade association PACs in the nation.
AGC PAC is funded solely by personal donations. Without sufficient resources, the PAC is unable to sustain its support each cycle for the most at-risk pro-construction candidates and maintain its backing for industry champions.
Just as industry professionals generously donate to places of worship, children's schools, universities, and local non-profits, they understand the value of investing in their families, alma maters, and communities. Similarly, supporting AGC PAC through a personal donation is an investment in your industry and, more importantly, in the advancement of your own career.
