Jobs for Southwestern Indiana
Political Action Committee (JPAC)

The Jobs for Southwestern Indiana Political Action Committee (JPAC) is the non-partisan political action program of The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana. It was created in 1996 to aid the Chamber’s Government Affairs activities and encourage more candidates who have a business background.

Since its creation, JPAC has given nearly $50,000 toward the successful election of pro-business candidates. JPAC doesn’t “buy access” to incumbents like many PAC’s, but focuses on pro-business challengers, open-seat contests and protecting pro-business incumbents who are truly threatened with defeat.

JPAC is funded by contributions from Chamber members, and decisions about endorsement and financial support are made by the committee. JPAC is an eleven-member committee co-chaired by a Democrat and a Republican, who are both members of the board of directors.

JPAC is currently undergoing its annual fundraising effort and is offering a unique opportunity for contributors at certain levels:

Eagle Club ($500): Invitation to reception with prior to the Chamber’s Annual Banquet; One registration to the Chamber Day at the Statehouse; and one registration to the Pre-Legislative Session Event.

Chairman’s Club ($250): One Registration to the Chamber Day at the Statehouse and one registration to the Pre-Legislative Event.

Participant ($100): One Registration to the Pre-Legislative Session Event.

Your generous investment in The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana’s political action program is the best way to support the very important programs underway to elect pro-business candidates and fight for pro-business legislation and regulation in 2007 and beyond.

Corporate, LLC, personal, partnership, business or PAC contributions are accepted as well.
