A former mechanical contractor, Congressman Mark Messmer is a strong ally to UA families in Washington.
He owned a commercial plumbing and HVAC business – and was signatory with the UA.
Now, in Congress, he consistently backs the UA’s gold-standard registered apprenticeship programs and expanding pathways into the skilled trades.
Congressman Messmer is working to lower costs and make life more affordable for Hoosiers, and he is working to cut taxes for working families like ours.
That’s why the UA is backing Mark Messmer for Congress.
Congressman Mark Messmer is an original cosponsor of H.R. 3151, the Shipbuilding and Harbor Infrastructure for Prosperity and Security for America Act of 2025, which would create good-paying UA jobs protecting our national security.
Congressman Messmer consistently supports federal investment in apprenticeship programs during the appropriations process to help build the skilled workforce our nation needs.
And he works across the aisle to protect our hard-earned wages and ensure Davis-Bacon prevailing wage protections are attached to federal investments in infrastructure.
