AGC members of the Nevada Chapter met, on July 28, with Mark Amodei, Republican nominee for Nevada’s second congressional district special election. Amodei is no stranger to the construction industry. During his 16-year tenure in the state legislature, he remained an industry ally with a receptive ear for construction policy issues. As a strong show of support for his congressional bid, Chapter President Dave Backman, K. G. Walters Construction Co., Inc., presented Candidate Amodei with a $2,500 AGC PAC check.
Nevada-2 became vacant upon Governor Brian Sandoval’s (R) appointment of Rep. Dean Heller (R) to the U.S. Senate, as Sen. John Ensign (R) resigned in May. Amodei faces Democrat Kate Marshall, the current state treasurer, in the special election, which is set for September 13.
Additionally, AGC PAC continues to monitor developments in Oregon’s first congressional district. With Rep. David Wu’s (D) resignation August 3, Governor John Kitzhaber (D) set a special primary election for November 11 and a special general election for January 31, 2012. As the field unfolds, AGC PAC will keep close watch for a potential construction-friendly candidate worthy of support.
