Make Your Voice Heard; Contribute to the CVMA’s Political Action Committee!

The CVMA’s Political Action Committee (CVMA-PAC) unifies the voice of veterinary professionals from across the state. Overseen by a governing board of veterinarians, the CVMA-PAC’s mission is to provide the resources needed to establish working relationships with key legislators who support veterinary medicine, ensuring that your voice is heard at the Capitol. The CVMA-PAC gives our members the opportunity to get involved in advocacy and enhances the CVMA’s visibility in relation to current issues facing the veterinary field, signaling that we as veterinary professionals are politically conscious, active, and engaged.

What does the CVMA-PAC do?

The CVMA-PAC allows us to fortify our relationships with members of state government and candidates so that we remain their trusted resource on matters important to animal welfare and the veterinary profession. The CVMAPAC is independent of any political party and candidate and approves contributions regardless of a candidate’s or legislator’s party affiliation.

A strong PAC fund cements our ability to advance the mission of the CVMA by doing the following: c Supporting state legislators who are responsive to issues impacting the veterinary profession c Enabling us to share our message and cultivate relationships with legislators at the Capitol c Helping CVMA members build relationships with legislators in their districts through grassroots outreach and advocacy c Allowing veterinary professionals to magnify their individual voices

Your support of the CVMA-PAC is united with the contributions made by fellow veterinary professionals across the state who are equally concerned with protecting the interests of the profession and preserving a high quality of veterinary medicine. Please join your colleagues in building a robust PAC fund so that we can continue to be a strong, effective voice for you.

If you haven’t done so already, there is still time to join your colleagues who have donated to the CVMA-PAC. The stronger the CVMA-PAC fund, the more opportunities we will have to support state legislators who bolster the veterinary profession. With your contribution and our outreach efforts, your voice will be heard!
