The CGN consists of ACA members who will convey to their legislators the association's position on key issues affecting the construction industry. CGN members express to elected officials our questions, concerns and opinions on legislation that may effect the construction industry. CGN members are furnished with the necessary information to effectively communicate with their district legislators. CapWiz™ is an online suite of tools that, combined with the data provided by the Capitol Advantage research team, allows users to identify, learn about, and contact elected officials at the federal, state and local levels. First launched in 1996, CapWiz is easily customized to perfectly integrate with any existing Web site. Nearly one thousand associations, organizations, and media organizations help users "connect and be counted", including The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, AARP, Shell Oil, Cigna, AOL, Yahoo!, CNN, USA Today and MSN.  From time to time, CGN members will be asked to visit the Arizona State Capitol and assist with lobbying efforts.

Arizona Contractors Association Political Action Committee (AZCAPAC)
“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” – Plato
 
The AZCAPAC is a mechanism for like-minded individuals to pool their resources and magnify their influence. The decisions of Arizona elected officials affect your business, you and your family. Do you want to have some input on who is elected and show your support of those candidates who are sensitive to your business concerns and those of the construction industry?
 
AZCAPAC is a “state only” political action committee with no involvement in federal elections.  The AZCAPAC is an effective component of the overall AZCA Governmental Affairs Program, which includes the Grassroots Network, Capwiz Online Advocacy Tool, AZCA Lobbying and the AZCA Governmental Affairs Committee. 
 
A personal contribution may be made directly to the AZCAPAC.  Please note that corporate contributions in Arizona are unlawful; therefore, the AZCAPAC can only accept personal checks. Please provide a check that includes the individual’s employer, occupation and mailing address.  This information is required by law and is used for reporting purposes.  Please send your contribution and suggestions to ACAPAC, 3033 N. Central Ave., Suite 810, Phoenix, AZ 85012.  Click here to download brochure.
