About Us
Hammer & Nails PAC serves as the political arm of The Greater Fort Worth Builders Association (GFWBA). The GFWBA formed a general purpose political action committee (PAC) to have greater participation in the state and local political process. A general purpose PAC is devoted to a point of view, not a political party. The purpose of Hammer & Nails PAC is to support local and state candidates and incumbents who understand the efforts of the local home building industry, the positive impact home building has on our local and state economy, and to organize effective political action on behalf of our members. The PAC is an important element of GFWBA’s government affairs program. It is the political voice for the GFWBA region, which consists of the following counties: Tarrant, Johnson, Hood, Wise, Parker, Somervell, and Palo Pinto County. The Hammer & Nails PAC offers opportunities for GFWBA members to interact with and build relationships with local and state elected officials. You can have a voice in electing candidates who support the building industry. Interested in getting involved? Become a part of the Hammer and Nails PAC!
