What is PADPAC ?
Pennsylvania Dental Association Political Action Committee ( PADPAC ) is a voluntary , non-profit group run by in and for dentists . As a bipartisan PAC , PADPAC is made up of dentists , their spouses and anyone from all over Pennsylvania who is dedicated to supporting legislators who value the profession of dentistry . PADPAC , operating under strict state and federal laws and regulations , is always watching the voting record of every member of the House and Senate . Working with the American Dental Political Action Committee ( ADPAC ), PADPAC promotes the highest quality dental health of Pennsylvania and our nation , while shaping the future of dentistry .
A political action committee ( PAC ) is an entity that combines contributions from members and donates the funds to candidates who share their interests and helps advance their legislative agenda . By joining the PADPAC , your personal financial contribution is magnified and plays a pivotal role in elected state government and ensures the practice of dentistry is represented by legislators who will fight for the profession and for high quality dental care .
We would like to thank each one of you for practicing dentistry , for your devotion to your patients , for being a PDA member and giving to PADPAC , and for your willingness to pitch in to help , usually before being asked . That is true nobility and you show that each and every day .
If you have any questions about making a contribution to PADPAC , please contact John Basial at jpb @ padental . org or ( 800 ) 223-0016 , ext . 108 . You can also contribute online by visiting padental . org / padpac .
