OUR ADVOCACY

From the halls of congress, to the state house corridors and municipal government chambers, we are advocating for the laws, regulations and ordinances that protect our members and give our contractors a level playing field.

ROAD TO REPAIR

In 2016, ELEC 825 lead the fights to reauthorize the Transportation Trust Fund utilizing our Consumer Information Channel Road to Repair.

Today, the Road To Repair is dedicated to providing consumers with up-to-date information about our most pressing infrastructure needs and issues, latest information and has become the go-to source for facts on the same topics.
