Thirty-nine states and territories will hold gubernatorial elections this November, with new administrations guaranteed in nearly half of them. Incumbent governors are term-limited or not running for reelection in 18 states or territories, including Florida, California, Michigan and Ohio. "NRMCA has legislation moving in several states and cities throughout the U.S. that directly benefits our members; we will be providing analysis throughout the year to help you prepare for the changes," said Vice President, State and Local Government Affairs, John Loyer.
For example, NRMCA has done significant work in one state with the incoming governor and assembly/senate leadership to ensure that NRMCA’s bill is poised to cross the finish line early this session. NRMCA is eager to work with members and state affiliates in other states on similar strategies this year. Through the Build With Strength initiative, NRMCA has resources to help members and state affiliates advocate for resilient and safer construction, including model legislation, talking points, public relations and other key strategies.
