“Michelle has been an outstanding representative in our district in her freshman term and we applaud her for her hard work,” said President and CEO Peter Ganahl.
First elected to Congress in 2020, Congresswoman Steel serves on the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, as well as the House Education and Labor Committee. Next year, she is expected to join the influential House Ways and Means Committee, the chief tax-writing committee with jurisdiction over all taxation, tariffs, and other revenue-raising measures. Before being elected to Congress, Steel served as the Chairwoman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
After touring Ganahl’s facilities, Congresswoman Steel visited with WCLBMA Board members to discuss affordable housing and the lumber and building material industry. NLBMDA highlighted the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act (H.R.2573), a bipartisan bill that strengthens the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit to increase access to affordable housing using a public-private partnership program that would build 2 million homes and create 3 million jobs over the next decade. Congresswoman Steel pledged to evaluate the legislation and indicated her likely support in the near future.
