AGC of Kentucky Meets with Rep. Geoff Davis (R-Ky.)

Whether congressional members are in Washington, D.C., or at home in the district, AGC Polical Action Committee (PAC) is there to ensure lawmakers to hear about AGC’s legislative priorities. During this current congressional recess, AGC of Kentucky members presented Rep. Geoff Davis (R-Ky.) with a PAC contribution on August 19 for his long-time support of the construction industry. AGC members discussed a number of issues with Rep. Davis, including repealing the 3% withholding tax, private activity bond volume cap and reauthorization of the federal highway and transit programs. Over his four terms, the Congressman has proved his support of the construction industry, voting the AGC-way three out of four times. As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Davis is a critical ally in AGC’s efforts to repeal the 3% withholding provision. In the current Congress, Rep. Davis is a 3% withholding co-sponsor and the lead Republican sponsor of a private activity bond measure that will increase investment in water infrastructure.   Pictured in the photo left to right are Richard Vincent, Executive Vice-President of AGC of Kentucky, Rep. Geoff Davis, Ellis Heffner, AGC of Kentucky board member, and Doug Hacker, President of AGC of Kentucky.  Mr. Hefner is presenting Rep. Davis a contribution from AGC PAC.
