America's Electric Cooperatives PAC

State and federal government officials make policy decisions that affect your local cooperative and your way of life. America's Electric Cooperatives PAC provides a way for cooperative members and employees to ensure the needs of their co-op communities are considered when policy decisions are being made.

What is America's Electric Cooperatives PAC?

America's Electric Cooperatives PAC® is the political action committee (PAC) of the nation’s electric cooperatives. Founded in 1966 by the approximately 1,000 cooperatives of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), it supports candidates for state and federal office – those in office now and running for office – who will speak for and protect the interests of cooperatives and their members. Today, America's Electric Cooperatives PAC is backed by more than 36,000 cooperative employees and members from across the United States.

Cooperative member participation in the nationwide America's Electric Cooperatives PAC ensures that the voice of cooperatives remains strong in our nation’s capital and in your state legislature. Maintaining a strong grassroots presence in the political process is instrumental to the long-term success of the cooperative program and the communities they serve in these unpredictable times.
