We represent members and their interests while supporting candidates in legislative arenas.
The HBA’s Government Affairs Committee is a non-partisan political arm that helps to elect pro-housing and pro-business candidates to local, state, and national offices.
It is comprised of two areas: the Political Action Committee (PAC), which focuses on fundraising to achieve these goals, and the Industry Action Committee, which focuses on grassroots efforts.
Elections matter and have a lasting impact.
The Political Action Committee (PAC) supports the homebuilding industry by promoting qualified, pro-industry candidates in a non-partisan manner.
We promote an informed homebuilder electorate through political education, keeping our members informed and engaged with legislative decisions most important to them and their businesses.
We proudly facilitate cooperation among homebuilders in the political process.
Collective action from local levels propels change.
The Industry Action Committee works diligently to represent members and their interests in the local regulatory affairs and legislative arenas. We strive to provide members and consumers with information about issues affecting the homebuilding industry and provide contact information for local regulatory and government agencies. We believe that local-level collection action will effect change at the local, regional, and national levels and become the foundation for a broader political movement.
Government Affairs efforts are funded through voluntary member contributions, separate from HBA dues.
Our PAC supports candidates who champion the issues affecting our members’ businesses and the homebuilding industry.
Committee members work together on a nonpartisan basis, putting the interests of the HBA and our industry first.
Members may personally support any candidate. Representing that support as an endorsement by the HBA or Government Affairs Committee requires Board approval.
