Walker
The Indiana REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) and the Indiana Builders Association Political Action Committee (PAC) have announced their endorsements of State Sen. Kyle Walker in his re-election campaign for Senate District 31.
RPAC is the political arm of the Indiana Association of REALTORS®, a 19,000-member statewide trade association whose members are involved in all aspects of the sale, purchase, exchange, and/or lease of real property in the state.
“Senator Walker is working to ensure a robust Indiana economy and has led on efforts to improve quality of life and place in Indiana, all of which are important to a thriving real estate market,” said Mark Fisher, CEO of the Indiana Association of REALTORS®. “His commonsense, fiscally responsible leadership and focus on economic development will help strengthen our economy and promote thriving communities.”
In the Senate, Walker supported the fiscally responsible, balanced state budget (HEA 1001) as well as a $1.1 billion income tax cut for Hoosiers, which – when fully implemented – will be tied for the lowest income tax rate in the country (HEA 1002). He’s also authored innovative economic development legislation, including a new law to attract sports, convention and tourism events to Indiana, which generate significant revenue and encourage investment. He also authored legislation to help local communities leverage private investment to improve infrastructure (SEA 166).
The Indiana Builders Association is a statewide trade organization representing Indiana’s home building, remodeling and light commercial construction industry.
“Home builders play an integral role in the state’s economy, providing families opportunities to reach their dream of home ownership and financial stability. Keeping housing affordable across the state is more important than ever as regulatory costs average nearly 25 percent of the cost of a home,” said Rick Wajda, Chairman of the Indiana Builders Association Political Action Committee (PAC). “We’re grateful to Senator Walker for his proven leadership in the Senate and commitment to the housing industry, and we look forward to working with him in the future as we strive together to ‘Build a Better Indiana.’”
Walker has been endorsed by several other business organizations including the NFIB Indiana PAC, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce and the Indy Chamber Business Advocacy Committee (BAC), as well as labor groups including the Indiana AFL-CIO and the Indiana State Pipe Trades Association.
“Affordable housing is one of Indiana’s key economic advantages that makes our state an attractive place to live, work and raise a family,” Walker said. “I will continue support policies that reduce the cost of living and doing business, streamline regulations and support a growing Indiana economy.”
Walker has also been endorsed by the Indiana State Police Alliance, Indiana Fraternal Order of Police, Fishers Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 199, Lawrence Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 159, Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 86, Indiana Fire Chiefs Association and Indiana Professional Firefighters PAC.
Walker’s district encompasses parts of Hamilton and Marion counties, including all of Fishers and part of Lawrence. For more information visit WalkerforIndiana.com.
