What is
PADPAC is a voluntary , non-profit group run by and for dentists . As a bipartisan PAC , it is made up of dentists , their spouses and people all over Pennsylvania dedicated to supporting legislators who value the profession of dentistry .
PADPAC , operating under strict state and federal laws and regulations , watches 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 Pennsylvania Dental Association Political Action Committee ( 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 .
One of the main reasons dentists join PDA is for the outstanding advocacy we provide . But in order to be effective advocates we need a strong PAC to support legislators who support dentistry and the patients we treat .
If you ’ ve made a PADPAC contribution this year please build a brighter future and contribute again for 2021 !
