MHI - PAC
An essential element to the success of any national trade
association’s lobbying efforts is the political arm of the
association. MHI-PAC is the Political Action Committee (PAC) of the
Manufactured Housing Institute. It provides financial assistance to
political candidates who support a sound pro-business philosophy
and responsible positions on issues of concern to our industry. The
MHI-PAC is bi-partisan, contributing to both Democratic and
Republican candidates in the U.S. House and Senate who understand
and support the Manufactured Housing Institute’s agenda.
