Yesterday, ABC of Ohio had the honor of hosting @VivekGRamaswamy for an impactful conversation with the board.

We discussed the future of Ohio’s construction industry, the critical importance of fair and open competition, merit-based workforce development, and how we can continue building a stronger, more prosperous Ohio through free enterprise — not government mandates.

"The U.S. is running out of workers. Not in tech. Not in marketing. In the physical world — the one that keeps civilization functioning.

Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) projects that the construction industry alone must attract 349,000 net new workers in 2026 just to meet current demand, with that number rising to 456,000 in 2027."

We loved sponsoring the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio Young Professionals event at the @ColumbusZoo. Spending time with some of the animals made the experience even more memorable!

Last week, @BCWtweeting and @GriffinWeasel of ABC of Ohio sent a letter to every member of the Ohio House and Senate urging targeted action to address the root cause of a lingering workforce crisis — the severe shortage of qualified trade instructors in high schools, career-technical centers, and apprenticeship programs.

The solution is straightforward and affordable: streamline certification for experienced journeymen to teach and provide targeted incentives for employers to support training. Ohio’s economic momentum depends on building a strong construction workforce.
