What is my contribution to the PAC used for?
The HBACA PAC uses the contributions it receives to support candidates who are friends of the home building community and share our belief that economic development is critical to a healthy economy. We support candidates by making direct contributions to their campaigns. We also promote candidates independently of their campaign committee. This type of promotion is referred to as an “independent expenditure,” and is typically used when a candidate has reached his/her limit in PAC contributions. From time to time PAC funds are also used to support or oppose issue campaigns. One such issue campaign that we recently opposed was 2000’s Prop. 202, the Citizens Growth Management Initiative sponsored by the Sierra Club. Had this initiative passed, it would have proven devastating to home building and economic development in Arizona. It also would have caused jobs to disappear for many of us employed in the home building industry. Thanks to your active participation, Prop. 202 was defeated by
