Why Give to PPAC?

When you’re dealing with legislators whose decisions affect Missouri pharmacy’s business and professional climate, you should do everything possible to ensure pro-pharmacy candidates are elected. Your vote is essential, but these candidates need your financial backing, as well.

To get the votes necessary to win an election, a candidate must run an effective campaign. Financing sufficient to cover expenses of advertising and travel may be the key to winning a difficult election.

Through the Pharmacy Political Action Committee of Missouri, you can help elect legislators who support pharmacy on professional and business issues. Next to your vote, contributing to the Pharmacy Political Action Committee of Missouri could be the single most important thing you do this election year.
