Alexandria, VA – October 14, 2026
The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association has named Madeline Wright director of government affairs. She brings legislative experience both on Capitol Hill as a former policy analyst for Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and as a lobbyist for the Florida Farm Bureau. Ms. Wright’s background in transportation policy and trade association lobbying makes her an outstanding addition to NRMCA’s federal advocacy team and will help advance key objectives of NRMCA’s Strategic Plan from day one.
As Director of Government Affairs, Wright will be responsible for leading a significant share of NRMCA’s advocacy on Capitol Hill. Reporting to Chief Advocacy Officer Andrew Tyrrell, this role will develop and execute legislative and political strategy, build and sustain relationships with Members of Congress and key staff, and help connect NRMCA members directly to the association’s advocacy work. Ms. Wright will focus on NRMCA’s core legislative priorities, including transportation and infrastructure, energy and environment, labor and workforce, and tax and trade.
“We are pleased to welcome Madeline Wright to NRMCA. Her background as a policy analyst for Senator Rick Scott and as a lobbyist for the Florida Farm Bureau, combined with her knowledge of transportation policy, positions her to make an immediate impact as we execute our Strategic Plan and strengthen our federal advocacy efforts on behalf of the ready mixed concrete industry,” said NRMCA President and CEO Jim Riley. “Working in concert with Andrew, she will help craft strategy and tactics to advance NRMCA’s legislative priorities.”
