NAW congratulates Senator McConnell on his announcement to retire, he has long been a supporter of NAW and the free enterprise system that makes our country so great.  In his 40 years in the US Senate he has been a defender of our industry and an able leader and legislator on issues of importance to the business community.  We look forward to working with him in these final two years of his long career, and wish him all the best.
