Statement from NECA CEO David Long on Tariffs

Feb 3, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On behalf of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), NECA Chief Executive Officer David Long comments on the recent tariffs implemented by President Trump:

“On behalf of our 4,000 contractors across America, we commend President Trump on his efforts focusing on the many major challenges facing our nation, including our immigration system and the devastating impact of fentanyl on our communities across America. 
As the Trump administration takes action to address that issue in the form of trade between Canada and Mexico, we urge the administration to consider exclusions for essential equipment and supplies while ensuring a swift resolution that recognizes the deeply interconnected relationship the electrical contracting industry has and how it connects contractors and our customers across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.  
NECA will continue working closely with the Trump administration to protect the ability of our contractors to keep delivering power and electricity to communities across America. By doing so, we can maintain our nation’s energy advantage, support American jobs, and ensure a strong and reliable electrical infrastructure for the future.”
