During the 2024 Fall Leadership Meeting in San Antonio, NAHB unveiled a campaign to spread the message that housing production should be a priority and that the residential construction industry will be sending a lot of voters to the polls.

To help spread the word, NAHB has created signs for members to use that feature two key messages: “We Build, We Vote” on one side and “Let Builders Build” on the flip side. These signs are meant to show that home builders and housing play an important role in this election.

The signs provide a great opportunity to gather members for photos that can be shared through social media, websites, newsletters or email. Be sure to tag your local housing or planning officials, and use the NAHB hashtags #LetBuildersBuild and #WeBuildWeVote.

Learn more and download assets at nahb.org. And don’t forget to vote this Nov. 5.
