by ECT

San Ramon, California – United Contractors (UCON) Board of Directors announced that they have selected Assembly Member Jim Frazier (AD-11) as UCON’s 2014 Legislator of the Year.

“From day one Assembly Member Frazier has been a tireless advocate for our industry in Sacramento,” said Kevin Albanese, UCON President and CEO of Joseph J. Albanese Inc. “Last year alone he authored numerous bills aimed at improving the business environment for California’s construction industry – a clear reflection of his dedication and advocacy as a truly pro-infrastructure, pro-jobs Legislator.”

The UCON Legislator of the Year Award is given to one Representative who is recognized above all others for their innovation, commitment, and service for the advancement of the heavy civil engineering construction industry during the preceding year.

“This award is not given out every year,” said Mark Breslin, UCON CEO. “It is only given out to worthy candidates who clearly exemplify what it means to be an advocate for our industry. We are grateful for Assembly Member Frazier’s service and his work to protect and grow California’s union-affiliated construction industry. He’s exactly the kind of Legislator California needs. I congratulate him on this well-earned award.”

United Contractors’ members build and maintain our State’s most vital infrastructure systems including our roads, bridges, highways, water infrastructure, rail systems, schools and hospitals. In addition, as union-affiliated contractors, they represent and support hundreds of thousands of California’s middle class workers, so is imperative that our legislators understand and advocate for the issues that are most important to these contractors. By enacting policies that allow our industry to grow and create jobs, we help keep our state strong, safe and secure.

“Assembly Member Frazier is a proven leader for our industry and we are pleased to recognize him with this prestigious award” said Albanese.

AWARD DETAILS:
Assembly Member Frazier will be presented with the Legislator of the Year Award on February 7, 2014 at UCON’s Membership LIVE (Leadership, Innovation, Vision & Excellence) Event at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery in Pleasanton, California.
