Idaho Retail Action Council (IRPC)
Pro-retail state policy starts by electing pro-retail state legislators. The Idaho Retailers Association’s political action committee, the Idaho Retail Action Council (IRAC), helps do just that. IRAC is a nonpartisan committee organized to:
- Endorse candidates who have proven their support for a free market economy.
- Assure retailing’s survival and growth by electing state legislators dedicated to creating a healthy retail economy.
- Promote the visibility of the IRA in legislative circles.
Legislative activity on behalf of our members is our #1 priority. Legislators listen to those who support them. The IRAC helps open doors for the IRA so legislators can hear your opinion on the issues that concern you. IRAC identifies lawmakers who are pro-retail. These lawmakers are then rewarded through IRAC endorsements and financial support through contributions to their campaigns. These contributions are made based on recommendations from our members and from the IRAC committee.
The IRAC can accept both corporate and personal money. Do your part today to support Idaho retailing. Consider supporting the IRAC.
