Like much of the country — and world — Reid Ribble and McKay Daniels watched in horrified disbelief as Americans stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 and disrupted the transfer of power between presidential administrations. But it hit a little closer to home for both leaders of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), considering how much time, sweat and even tears were spent during their careers at the highest levels of public service.
“I literally got sick to my stomach. I could not believe what I was seeing,” Ribble, a former three-term Congressman from Wisconsin, told RC in his recent visit to the Roofing Contractor Podcast Show. “We saw a mob break into the Capitol, do millions of dollars worth of structural damage… I was disheartened. And my emotions went from being so, so disappointed to just getting downright angry about it.”
