ABC-VA State PAC Fundraising

ABC-VA Members,

The threat to Merit Shop contractors in Virginia is real. In 2019, the democrats repealed the Free and Open Competition Act (FOCA), which banned Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) on Virginia public construction projects. Now, we are challenged with localities across the Commonwealth looking to utilize PLAs to reward their supporters and place the added cost burden on Virginia taxpayers while keeping contractors, like you, from bidding state and local work. The same democratic leaders, in another spending spree, passed prevailing wage legislation. This needs to stop while we have Governor Youngkin in office!

ABC-VA has to take the lead in helping to get more business-competent legislators elected this November. All 140 House and Senate seats based on new districts are up for election this year. Two years ago, ABC-VA was very successful in helping the republicans win back the house. We focused on ten races where we could make a difference, and it worked! Now, in 2023, we need to do the same and focus on key Senate races, along with a few House races, that will make the difference in repealing PLA laws and other anti-business legislation that burdens contractors and businesses overall.

Please help your association as we lead the industry in making Virginia a great state for the construction industry as we raise $300,000 to get the right people elected in November 2023.

We have two weeks to raise our first $100,000, and with your help, we can do it!

Donations can be made online below or please email me to make your difference today!

Respectfully,
