Although there is some distance from your office to the Senate and House offices in Washington, DC, the activities in Washington directly impact your ability to run a profitable business. While you spend your days focused on your business, you can influence what decisions are made in Washington by contributing to ABC PAC, which is committed to electing individuals who support your interest.

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 financial support of merit shop candidates. It is more important than ever to participate in the process and to influence the election of candidates who understand and support free enterprise principles.

ABC PAC is governed by fifteen board members. The board members serve a three year term and are chosen by region. The PAC Board of Trustees work with the Regional Vice Chairs (Tim Walton, Cianbro Corp, is our Region Vice Chair) and chapter leadership to promote political involvement and assist in raising PAC funds. Members of this committee also approve all donations to candidates based on well-established, principle based guidelines such as voting records of incumbents on issues impacting merit shop contractors. All donations are also approved by the Chapter leadership from the state where the candidate is located. The NH/VT Chapter has approved over $15,000 in PAC donations to candidates during the past and current election cycle.

ABC's PAC is your voice in elective politics. PAC members' donations are combined with donations from members throughout the country. 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. Please consider supporting ABC PAC. PAC solicitation forms may be obtained by contacting the chapter office or on our website at www.abcnhvt.org. Do not hesitate to contact ABC with any questions concerning ABC PAC or our involvement in the political process.
