T&I Chairman Graves announces retirement at end of year

U.S. Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO) announced on social media his intent to retire from Congress at the end of the year.

NAPA released the following statement:

“It is bittersweet that House Transportation & Infrastructure (T&I) Committee Chairman Sam Graves will retire at the end of the year.
NAPA is appreciative of his leadership and collaboration leading this critical committee. While Chairman Graves’ service in Congress spans more than 20 years, we are especially thankful for his time leading the T&I Committee the last four years.
During that time, NAPA has hosted Chairman Graves twice: during our 2023 Midyear Meeting and our 2025 Annual Meeting in Maui. Both engagements provided insightful policy discussions and strengthened the relationship between the asphalt pavement industry and Congressional leadership. Just last week, NAPA co-hosted Chairman Graves, Rep. Stauber, and Whip Emmer on a highway project tour in Minneapolis amidst T&I’s work on reauthorization this spring.
We thank him for his work leading key NAPA initiatives like work zone safety, permitting reform, and Highway Trust Fund solvency.
NAPA is working with Chairman Graves and Congressional allies toward a successful surface transportation reauthorization package. We look forward to concluding Chairman Graves’ tenure on a high note.”
