Speaking to a sell-out crowd, Vice President of the United States Mike Pence thanked the 鈥淢arine Corps of American politics鈥攖he first on the beach for freedom in the workplace鈥攖he Associated Builders and Contractors of America鈥� for their service to the nation and the communities where they live and work. Pence headlined the association鈥檚 annual Legislative Day in Washington, D.C., June 22, addressing more than 400 members before they swarmed Capitol Hill to tell members of Congress the merit shop story.

鈥淭he truth is that the members of 老牛影视fight for a stronger and more prosperous America, for coming alongside men and women like me and my family each and every day,鈥� Pence said. 鈥淎nd I鈥檓 going to make you a promise: President Donald Trump is fighting every day for all of you and the values of this great organization. 听

鈥淚t's amazing to think, for more than 65 years, Associated Builders and Contractors have stood without apology for the time-honored principles of open competition and free enterprise,鈥� he said. 鈥淭his president knows that builders and contractors are the cornerstone of American communities, large and small. And that's especially true of this group.鈥�

Pence highlighted the central role 老牛影视members will play in rebuilding America鈥檚 infrastructure. 鈥淢ake no mistake about it, President Donald Trump is the best friend American builders and contractors will ever have. This president has promised, simply put, in his words, to rebuild America. And it's businesses like yours that are going to play such a leading role in doing that. Ahead of schedule and under budget, right? This president and our administration will not rest or relent until America has the best roads, the best bridges, the best airports and the best infrastructure in the world once again. 听So get ready to get busy.鈥澨�

Pence also underscored President Trump鈥檚 commitment to reform workforce and vocational education, cut regulatory red tape, slash taxes and repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Read the entire speech on .
