America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC is the federal political action committee (PAC) of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) and is backed by nearly 35,000 eligible employees, directors and consumer-members across the country. It is truly a grassroots movement powered by thousands of contributors giving an average of $65.00 per year.
NRECA has recently announced an exciting new change for its political action committee, ACRE ®. After careful consideration and research, they are transitioning ACRE to a new name and visual identity that align more closely to the people and organizations it represents: America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC. NRECA established ACRE in 1966 to support state and federal elected leaders and candidates who speak up and protect the interests of electric cooperatives and their member-owners.
Electricity and energy-related issues are at the forefront of today’s political debates. The legislation and regulations crafted by lawmakers regularly impact electric cooperatives and our Member-owners. Participating in the PAC is your opportunity to support state and federal elected leaders and candidates who support electric co-ops.
