JOHNSTON — The Iowa Corn Growers Association’s (ICGA) Political Action Committee (PAC) has endorsed Joel Fry, a Republican from Osceola, for Iowa House District 27. Established with bipartisan support of Iowa’s corn farmers more than a decade ago, the ICGA PAC ensures members have a voice and a seat at the table on issues impacting Iowa’s farmers.
“Each new legislative session brings with it policy changes which can impact our farm businesses,” said Iowa Corn Growers Association PAC Chair Mark Recker, a farmer from Arlington. “The ICGA PAC is proud to endorse State Representative Fry for his tireless efforts to look out for the best interests of Iowa’s farmers while serving at the State Capitol. The voluntary ICGA PAC is an essential tool we use to help select political leaders like Representative Fisher who have demonstrated their support to the Iowa Corn Growers Association’s policy priorities.”
The Iowa Corn Growers Association PAC Committee includes six farmer-members appointed by the ICGA President comprised of three democrats and three republicans.
They objectively evaluate all candidates regardless of party affiliation. The success of ICGA’s legislative policy efforts hinges on a bi-partisan approach to achieving its policy objectives, bringing both sides together for the best interest of Iowa’s corn farmers. This is why the priorities of ICGA are the only criteria the PAC uses to make candidate endorsements.
All decisions must be supported by a majority vote which ensures endorsements are non-partisan. The committee is recognized and respected for its bipartisan approach to achieving the policy objectives of Iowa corn growers by supporting lawmakers who work to implement ICGA member priorities.
