(Indianapolis) – Oct. 22, 2018 – Indiana Farm Bureau’s nonpartisan political action committees, ELECT and AgELECT, have endorsed candidates running for office in the Nov. 6 general election. The ELECT makes endorsements and provides support in federal races. AgELECT is a state-level PAC that supports and makes endorsements in Statehouse races.
The goal of ELECT and AgELECT is to support ag-friendly candidates running for elected office.
The PACs have endorsed 91 candidates running in the general election. That includes eight candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives, 61 candidates running for the Indiana House and 22 candidates running for the Indiana Senate. INFB PACs do not endorse candidates in statewide races.
ELECT and AgELECT endorsements are made through a multi-step process, starting with recommendations from INFB members who live in the district. This format stays true to the grassroots nature of the organization.
ELECT and AgELECT endorsements are recognition of candidates’ support of policies that will foster a positive environment for agriculture and rural communities across the state.
