Who is I-PACE

The Indiana Political Action Committee for Education (I-PACE) is the political action division of the Indiana State Teachers Association (ISTA).

Our Purpose

The purpose of I-PACE is to promote the cause of public education in Indiana through political action. I-PACE assists candidates, political parties and committees who are favorable to education issues as determined by ISTA Representative Assembly resolutions and legislative priorities.

I-PACE has four objectives:

1. Research, evaluate and endorse candidates for public office.

2. Collect and disburse funds for contributions to endorsed candidates.

3. Mobilize volunteers for the campaigns of endorsed candidates.

4. Facilitate member involvement in the political process.

I-PACE has organized and affiliated local political action committee (L-PAC) subcommittees within district council units of ISTA with representatives from locals in the districts.
