The American Council of Engineering Companies celebrates the recognition of its President and CEO Linda Bauer Darr and Executive Vice President Steve Hall, who have been named to The Hill’s prestigious Top Lobbyists 2025 list. This honor underscores ACEC’s influential voice in Washington and our continued effectiveness in advancing the engineering industry’s priorities on Capitol Hill.
Linda Bauer Darr’s inclusion reflects her exceptional leadership in positioning ACEC as a respected resource for policymakers on infrastructure, innovation, and engineering excellence. Under her guidance, ACEC has successfully championed critical legislation affecting our member firms, from infrastructure funding to regulatory reform. Her ability to build bipartisan coalitions and communicate the vital role engineering firms play in America’s economic competitiveness has elevated our industry’s profile in Washington.
Steve Hall’s recognition highlights his strategic approach to government relations and his deep understanding of the legislative process. His work has been instrumental in securing key victories for the engineering community, including advancing pro-industry tax policy, professional licensure protection, promoting qualifications-based selection, and ensuring engineering firms have a seat at the table during critical infrastructure policy discussions.
This dual recognition demonstrates ACEC’s strength as an advocacy organization and validates our members’ investment in collective action. As Congress tackles complex challenges from aging infrastructure to emerging technologies, having two of Washington’s top lobbyists leading ACEC’s advocacy efforts ensures the engineering industry’s expertise and perspective will continue shaping national policy.
