HBAs Raise More Than $125K for BUILD-PAC
Home builders associations across the country are raising significant money this summer for BUILD-PAC, NAHB’s bipartisan political arm, ahead of the 2024 election.
BUILD-PAC, which supports electing pro-housing, pro-building candidates for federal office, has raised $2.61 million in the 2023-24 cycle to date. That’s 80% of the way to its goal.

In Connecticut, BUILD-PAC Trustee Ken Boynton and his team hosted the 21st annual Fiano Family BUILD-PAC Golf Classic at the TPC River Highlands course. The event was held just weeks after big-name professionals like Scottie Scheffler competed in the Travelers Championship.
A total of 136 golfers competed in the fundraiser, raising more than $105,000. And for those donors who didn't want to golf, they were welcomed later that evening at a dinner event.
"I believe in BUILD-PAC," said Boynton. "I believe it's where the rubber meets the road for our industry. We need to vote in pro-housing candidates. We realize in Connecticut we are an export state and send money to other states that are more pro-housing. It doesn't matter if it's a republican or democrat, as long as they believe in housing."

In Rhode Island, BUILD-PAC Trustee Roland Fiore and his team hosted a dinner followed by a fundraising event at the Deepwell Manor historic estate with live entertainment.
"It was a perfect night," said Fiore, adding that the more than 60 attendees appreciated NAHB CEO Jim Tobin’s economic forecast as well as a speech from NAHB Chairman Carl Harris. "We had a great showing of builders, developers, engineers; it was a nice crowd."
The event raised more than $23,000.
"I didn’t realize what an impact you can have instead of sitting on the sidelines," said Fiore. "I’ve decided to use the Rhode Island Builders Association as a platform, both locally and nationally, to represent BUILD-PAC’s cause. And to me, that’s what the United States is all about."
