Legislative Update

In this Contractor Outlook, Heidi J. Ellsworth meets with Duane Musser and Deb Mazol with the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) to discuss the political landscape since January 20, 2025, exploring the Trump Administration’s primary legislative goals for the new Congress and how they align with the agendas of both the House and Senate majorities. They’ll also discuss the NRCA's goals in relation to the new political environment and which legislative priorities are most promising for progress in the next two years. Tax reform, especially the impending expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, will be another key topic, examining potential developments in tax policy. Duane and Deb will discuss the status of proposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, explaining how tariffs work and their potential impact on the roofing industry. Finally, the duo will provide insights into how contractors can actively engage in these discussions and advocate for policies that support their business and industry priorities.
