Political Action Committee

As the 2009 election year comes to a close, the MWPC PAC is gearing up for what is hoped to be an historical election year for our state. We have two women running in the 2010 gubernatorial race: Mn Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner.

The MNWPC PAC will no longer do multiple endorsements. There are some very competivitive races going on all over the state and the PAC plans on endorsing pro-choice women in those races! If you are a candidate interested in seeking our endorsement please email us at www.women@mnwpc.org.

If you are a current member, you are eligible to endorse candidates who screen with us. So if you haven't renewed your membership, or if you want to become a member please go to our home page and click on 'Become a Member Today.'

The MWPC PAC Board is currently accepting board applications. The Political Action Committee Board of Directors is the governing body of the Minnesota Women’s Political Caucus (MWPC) Political Action Committee (PAC).

The PAC Board of Directors exists to operate the PAC, set endorsement screening dates for potential candidates in state and municipal races, and perform oversight for the Campaign Assistance Program.
