NARFE-PAC

The WSFC NARFE-PAC Chair is Don Binder, Kennewick, (509)585-1393

 NARFE's Political Action Committee was formed in 1982 to harness the Association's electoral muscle as a complement to member's voting power, grass-roots activism and professional advocacy (Lobbying)

In full compliance with federal law, NARFE-PAC has raised and contributed nearly a million dollars to congressional campaigns across the country in each two-year election cycle.

The average member contribution rises and falls, but the most frequent amount donated is $25.

NARFE-PAC actively seeks contributions only from NARFE members in the United States.

Unlike many PACs, NARFE-PAC requires a written request from a bona fide congressional candidate, or his or her campaign committee, to trigger the highly consultative consideration process.

NARFE-PAC employs a decentralized decision-making process before determining which requesting candidates should be sent a campaign contribution. Each NARFE federation has a NARFE-PAC coordinator who, using a consulting procedure that works in that state, gathers input from NARFE members in a specific district or statewide before making a recommendation to the national office.

Congratulations and thanks!  Washington broke the $10,000 mark in 2011!
