members is necessary to be proactive on upcoming issues. Rally Day is the best way to familiarize yourself with the issues that face the residential construction industry and deliver our legislative agenda straight to the doorstep of our legislators. This is also a great event to build relationships with legislators and network with other members within the association. See firsthand how the association's lobby- ists and staff advocate on behalf of the homebuilding industry at the Capitol.
National News
As you know it is total gridlock in Washington, D.C. right now. Anything that passes the Republican controlled House dies in the Senate. The Republicans have the House 241–191 and are likely to maintain the hold. The Senate is much closer at 53R-47D now and 23 Democrat seats up for re-election versus only 10 Republicans. Issues are still the same. Hopefully after the fall elections we will see some movement.
