Why should I donate to
ATPE-PAC?
Donate to PAC
- When our ATPE members work together, ATPE can have more impact than if they work separately.
- PAC contributions give candidates and officeholders a clear idea of where ATPE stands on an
issue and represents the association’s interest. Whereas, when you give personal money directly
to a candidate or officeholder they know that you like them personally.
- The PAC expands your influence beyond your own legislative district. It helps direct money
to candidates and officeholders you may not know about who support your issues and need our
support.
- The PAC makes a carefully studied, well-informed decision on whom to support. The PAC makes
decisions about candidates and officeholders based on inside knowledge of what really happens to
your issues during a legislative session, voting record or things that do not show up in votes.
- The PAC makes decisions based on only your issues as decided by the membership and
leadership of the association. The PAC asks the question "Which candidate or officeholder has a
proven record of support." Then they put your money where it will represent your profession the
best.
- PACs are legally established by the Legislature and Congress. The PAC system allows the
public to know who contributes and who receives money. It is set up to establish an open, honest
system by which people can come together to support or oppose candidates.
- The PAC is an important education device for elected officials. When candidates and
officeholders appeal for money from the PAC it means that they want to learn about or know ATPE.
- Your PAC is an important tool to protect education’s interest. It is designed to protect
your rights. Giving to your PAC makes sure someone is looking out for you.
