ICE has worked with the BAC and contractor members on state and federal legislative matters concerning masonry contractor licensing and bidding processes, safety and health issues and efforts to protect the work of ICE contractors and BAC members from threats both within the U.S. and abroad.  ICE has a growing political action effort and focus, including the establishment of the ICE Political Action Committee appointed from the ranks of ICE Affiliates.

The Political Action Committee will encourage, stimulate and provide the opportunity for ICE Affiliates to take a more active role in political and government activities that effect the unionized masonry industry.  The committee will:

      Monitor the legislative environment for laws and regulations that will effect the unionized masonry industry and proactively seek to influence legislation to the benefit of the industry and ICE membership;

      Provide support for candidates for office, political party committees and other organizations that support our issues;

      Educate ICE members on current legislative and political issues and provide them with guidance on actions they can take to help address the issues;

      Organize meetings, forums and other political activities to give ICE membership the opportunity to communicate our issues directly to lawmakers.

ICE is also a member of the Campaign for Quality Construction, an alliance of six premier specialty construction contractors' associations.
