A PAC is a group formed to support causes, laws, and leaders that put shared values, ideals, and communities first. PACs raise money and use it to help candidates who share these values get elected or stay in office and to educate the public on important matters.

We formed the PAC to make sure patients in Arkansas always come first (not big corporations or middlemen). Our mission is to support leaders who protect patients’ access to affordable, local, and high-quality care.

The PAC is managed by independent providers who are also community leaders, healthcare advocates, and supporters who care about protecting patients’ rights and improving healthcare in Arkansas.

Every dollar goes toward supporting lawmakers and community efforts that align with our mission: putting patients before profit and protecting access to local care.

The current maximum contribution amount is $10,000 in aggregate during the calendar year.

Contributions are reported quarterly in April, July, October, and January (of the following year), by the 15th calendar day of the month. The reporting period covers the previous quarter.

No. Our PAC is focused on patient issues, not party lines. We support all leaders: Republican, Democrat, or Independent, who put Arkansas patients first.

Unlike many national PACs, we are patient-driven and run by local independent healthcare providers (serving in your local community). Our focus is on protecting local care and ensuring healthcare decisions are made in Arkansas, not by out-of-state corporations.

No. PACs must report every donation received and every dollar spent each quarter. These reports are posted on the Secretary of State’s website and can be viewed or downloaded by the public.

Yes. We publish the names of supported candidates on our website and on the Arkansas State PAC Disclosure website, so you always know how donations are being used.

PACs cannot buy votes. What we can do is support candidates who already share our values, so they have the resources to reach more voters and stay in office to represent patients.
