CREDA Pittsburgh PAC
is the only political action committee for the commercial real estate Industry in Pennsylvania. It represents the interest of commercial real estate professionals in all of Pennsylvania with an emphasis on the greater Pittsburgh Region. The primary purpose of the CREDA Pittsburgh PAC is to protect and advance the interests of the members of CREDA Pittsburgh by supporting qualified candidates for state and local office in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, regardless of party affiliation, who understand the organization’s principles and mission.
CREDA Pittsburgh PAC allows you to support candidates that support the issues you care about without being a direct contributor to their campaign. Your PERSONAL funds are pooled with those of other industry professionals, and the PAC makes the contribution. The CREDA Pittsburgh PAC Board of Directors determines contributions to specific candidates or ballot initiatives.
