The
PSEC-PAC was organized in 1993 as the Political Action Committee of
Protective Services Employees Coalition. The main purpose for any PAC is
to support candidates for political office through campaign donations and
campaign endorsements. As a labor organization whose membership consists
entirely of state employees, the PAC performs a vital function by
supporting and endorsing candidates for state legislative and
constitutional offices.
The
PAC makes these endorsements by reviewing voting records of incumbent
legislators, along with interviews and questionnaires completed by
candidates, and information provided by the AFL-CIO. Every effort is made
to endorse candidates that the committee believes will be supportive of
labor issues as well as police and fire fighting issues.
The
PAC relies solely on donations to fulfill its mission. No union dues are
spent in support of political candidates.
As
government employees whose pay and benefits are determined by the
legislature, we have the opportunity to elect our employers. An
opportunity not available to private sector employees.
It's
your union, and there is no better way that you can get involved than to
start donating to our PAC. You can donate through payroll deduction or by
making a one time donation.
