Political Action Committee 

The purpose of ABC PAC is to work within the federal election process to further the goals of the association through direct involvement in supporting and opposing candidates for The United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. This is accomplished through educating our members on the importance of political activism and through financial support of merit shop candidates. 

ABC's PAC is your voice in elective politics. PAC members' donations are combined with others to jointly support candidates. This provides a unified and powerful voice for the merit agenda. It is also an opportunity to participate in one of the largest pro-business PACs in the nation.

Did you know you can fill out your Political Action Committee (PAC) prior approval form online?
Federal fundraising law states that all ABC members must give permission before they can attend federal PAC fundraising events or be solicited for federal PAC contributions. In order to better facilitate this process ABC has now made it possible to complete the required form online.
