The Affiliated Construction Trades of Ohio (“ACT Ohio”) is a 501(c)(5) organization created by the Ohio State Building & Construction Trades Council to facilitate economic and industrial development and incorporate industry best practices for Ohio’s public and private capital improvement projects. ACT Ohio announced Friday that its Executive Board formally endorsed a number of candidates for public office.

“Our organization, through the very clear direction of the Executive Board, will support candidates and elected officials that promote work opportunities for our members,” said Executive Director Matthew Szollosi.
