What is ANA-PAC?
The American Nurses Association Political Action Committee, ANA-PAC, was established to promote the improvement of the health care system in the United States by raising funds from CMA (Constituent Member Associations) members and contributing them to support worthy candidates for federal office who have demonstrated their belief in the legislative and regulatory agenda of the American Nurses Association.

Does ANA-PAC endorse both Democrats and Republicans?
Yes. ANA-PAC is bi-partisan and works directly with both national parities to recruit and support candidates. To learn about ANA-PAC’s endorsement process, please see below.

Who can contribute to ANA-PAC?
Pursuant to federal election law, ANA-PAC can only solicit funds from CMA members, their families, and employees of ANA.

How are contributions to ANA-PAC used?
Contributions to ANA-PAC are used to support candidates for federal office. Under federal election law, the amounts that may be contributed are limited and steps must be taken to ensure that contributions to ANA-PAC are strictly voluntary and without coercion. ANA-PAC Board of Trustee members in partnership with a CMA’s leadership, decide which federal candidates merit consideration for endorsement.
