Governor Holcomb 10-14-19The Indiana REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) today announced that it is endorsing Governor Eric Holcomb for a second term.

“The real estate industry nationwide depends on a thriving economy and high quality of place,” said Terre Haute’s Bernice Helman, 2020 president of the Indiana Association of REALTORS®. “Here in Indiana, Governor Holcomb understands that and has been laser-focused on both throughout his first term. Governor Holcomb also understands that our affordable housing is a competitive strength and has been a steadfast ally of Realtors in protecting it.

“Now more than ever we need a steady leader,” continued Helman. “And Governor Holcomb is exactly that. He doesn’t get sidetracked. He is data-driven, positive and inclusive. The Indiana REALTORS® PAC is proud to endorse Governor Holcomb’s reelection and looks forward to the accomplishments of his second term.”

RPAC is the political arm of the Indiana Association of REALTORS®, a 19,000-member statewide trade association whose members are involved in virtually all aspects of the sale, purchase, exchange, and/or lease of real property in the state.
