Today, NSSGA President & CEO Michele Stanley participated in a roundtable discussion hosted by the New Democrat Coalition (New Dems) to advocate for a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization bill that delivers funding certainty for the aggregates industry. New Dems is comprised of 114 pragmatic House Democrats who work to bridge the partisan divide with a solutions-oriented approach to politics. #RocksBuildAmerica

NSSGA was a proud sponsor for last night's @MarchofDimes Gourmet Gala! NSSGA staff and member representatives attended and served as sous chefs for Sen. Bill Hagerty (TN) and Rep. Salud Carbajal (CA). Last night's event supported the March of Dimes' mission of leading the fight for the health of all moms and babies. #RocksBuildAmerica

America is home to 4 million+ miles of road, 48,700+ miles of interstate highways, and about 620,000 bridges. Let’s protect this infrastructure and everyone who depends on it. NSSGA and others from @TheTCC are on the Hill this week with the message: Congress – pass the next surface transportation reauthorization before funding runs out. #RocksBuildAmerica

Great to hear from @USDOT Secretary Sean Duffy and House T&I Ranking Member @RepRickLarsen at today’s @TheTCC legislative briefing. NSSGA looks forward to working with the Administration and Congress to pass a surface transportation reauthorization bill. #RocksBuildAmerica

As a member of @TheTCC, NSSGA is joining their efforts to help raise awareness about the importance of passing a timely, robust transportation bill. Investment in roads, bridges and transit systems is an investment in safety, affordability and opportunity. Congress, don’t let infrastructure fall through the cracks. Deliver the next surface transportation reauthorization today. #RocksBuildAmerica

We all count on roads and bridges to get us home safely. That’s why NSSGA and other members of @TheTCC are counting on lawmakers to invest in the infrastructure our country relies on. Join us in calling on Congress to reauthorize America’s surface transportation programs. #RocksBuildAmerica

Evan Bender, NSSGA Director of Government Affairs shares what the association hopes to see in the next surface transportation reauthorization bill during the Pit & Quarry Roundtable. Read more on how NSSGA is advocating for legislation that builds on past investments, provides long-term certainty and has the necessary resources to keep our nation’s infrastructure network competitive. #RocksBuildAmerica

NSSGA is pleased to see this legislation move forward with the strong inclusion of "Rocks on Crops" language. #RocksBuildAmerica

NSSGA appreciates the House taking up the 2026 Farm Bill—now let’s get it done. Farmers and rural communities need certainty, and the inclusion of "Rocks on Crops" makes this legislation stronger. NSSGA appreciates the inclusion of enhanced rock weathering practices that support agricultural benefits, atmospheric sequestration and resource conservation. #RocksBuildAmerica

Earth Day is a great reminder, but caring for the land is part of the job every day. The aggregates industry works responsibly with an ongoing commitment to stewardship, sustainability and stronger communities. #RocksBuildAmerica

NSSGA thanks @RepWesterman and the @NatResources for their work on the ESA Amendments Act. ESA reform is essential to permitting reform. This bill clarifies the permitting process for important projects, without compromising species protections. NSSGA supported the introduction of this bill in March 2025, and we urge its passage now! nssga.org/sites/default/… #RocksBuildAmerica

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's Young Leaders Annual Meeting. Mark your calendars! Our next destination is one you won't want to miss. The 2027 Young Leaders Annual Meeting will be in Hilton Head, SC. #RocksBuildAmerica

It's Tax Day and NSSGA members appreciate the aggregates-friendly provisions in the Working Families Tax Cuts (or the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) that provide tax certainty and relief for our industry. Thanks to @POTUS and his administration, this law helps our members make long-term investments in building the nation's infrastructure.

From the ground up, #RocksBuildAmerica. Stone, sand and gravel are the essential materials behind, every road, hospital, school and home. The aggregates industry is fundamental to building, maintaining, powering and driving national infrastructure and economy.

Infrastructure starts at the quarry, but the ripple effects goes much further. The aggregates industry drives more than 725K jobs, $45.6B in earnings and over $170B in sales. From quarries to communities, #RocksBuildAmerica.

Today, NSSGA President & CEO Michele Stanley joined a panel with the @USChamber Move America Coalition to brief a bipartisan group of congressional staff on how passing a robust, multi-year surface transportation reauthorization is critical for the aggregates industry and the national economy. #RocksBuildAmerica

At last week's Annual Convention, NSSGA President & CEO Michele Stanley and @MSHA_DOL Assistant Secretary Wayne Palmer renewed the NSSGA–MSHA Alliance Agreement. The goal of the Alliance, which has been in place for decades, is to foster safer and more healthful working conditions for miners at aggregates operations across the country. Our partnership provides a platform for sharing best practices, promoting safety initiatives and addressing emerging challenges across the industry. During the meeting, Alliance participants discussed potential projects the group and MSHA could pursue together in the coming year. #RocksBuildAmerica
