For the tenth year in a row, AGC of America has been named as one of the nation’s top lobbying operations by Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill. 

​The publication’s annual ranking of top lobbyists lists AGC CEO Steve Sandherr as a top lobbyist. Sandherr said the listing is a recognition of the strong lobbying team working at the association, noting that “it is easy to pick up a lot of wins when you get to manage the lobbying equivalent of the 1927 New York Yankees.”
