HOMEPAC
2015 HOMEPAC Year a Success!
we have many commitments that go
beyond just the once-a-year donation.
These HOMEPAC members’ steadfast
financial support allow us to maintain
a strong political action committee in
order to continue to be the voice of Texas
residential development, construction and
remodeling at the Texas Capitol.
Our local associations deserve a great deal
of credit for going the extra mile to meet
or exceed their projected goals through
engaging their members with ongoing
PAC education and selling HOMEPAC
pins. Even more impressive are some of
the more creative HOMEPAC fundraisers
at the local association level, ranging from
washers tournaments, Yeti cooler raffles,
Bowling with Builders to Sporting Clays
Shoots. As of this writing there were close
to ten local home builders associations
that had reached or were almost at their
local association PAC contribution goal
for the year (this goal is based on $25
per member). Each local HBA has until
December 31 of this year to reach its goal
and we hope we can match last year’s
A
s 2015 comes to a close, so
does my time as Chairman of
HOMEPAC – the registered non-
partisan political action committee of the
Texas Association of Builders.
The past two years have seen excellent
participation and engagement from
our membership, local home builder
associations and staff that have allowed
HOMEPAC to successfully raise and
distribute funds to hundreds of pro-
housing candidates for office. It goes
without saying that this could not be done
without our donors to the PAC, and many
of our outstanding local associations have
been instrumental in helping HOMEPAC
exceed contribution expectations – with
a few association ranging from 245 to
372 percent contribution rate – well
beyond their projected goal! And, not
only do we have numerous Captiol Club,
Diamond Key, Platinum Key, Gold Key,
Silver Star and Lone Star members who
are consistently giving on a yearly basis,
