(Indianapolis) – July 26, 2024 – Indiana Farm Bureau ELECT - the organization’s federal, nonpartisan political action committee (PAC) - has endorsed seven congressional candidates for the 2024 general election.
“This election is going to be extremely important for agriculture. Indiana Farm Bureau endorsements are taken very seriously as a part of the organization’s grassroots advocacy effort,” said INFB President Randy Kron. “The goal of our PAC is to back candidates who are willing to listen and engage in issues impacting agriculture. We rely on public officials who will advocate on behalf of Hoosier agriculture and serve as our voice in Washington D.C.”
Federal engagement will be critical this next Congress for many agricultural issues including the farm bill, labor and taxes. INFB has been in constant communication with the Indiana congressional delegation about these topics throughout the year as legislation is being crafted, but there’s still much to be done.
INFB ELECT endorsed the following candidates:
INFB ELECT endorsements are determined through a robust grassroots process led by county leaders from across Indiana, who conduct candidate interviews and present recommendations to the oversight committee and the INFB board of directors.
An endorsement from INFB is recognition of a candidate’s support of policies that will foster a positive environment for agriculture and rural communities.
