California Construction & Industrial Materials Association, the statewide voice for the aggregate, industrial mineral and ready mixed concrete industries
NSSGA Senior Vice President, Government and Regulatory Affairs Mira Lezell spoke at the @CalcimaRocks 2026 Educational Conference last week. Her talk addressed NSSGA’s federal advocacy on behalf of the aggregates industry, including efforts to advance surface transportation reauthorization and permitting reform legislation, such as the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026. She also spoke about advocacy priorities on the horizon, including federal regulations, and working with the administration during the 120th congressional session. #RocksBuildAmerica
