America’s Electric Cooperatives is the non-partisan political action committee (PAC) of the NRECA. With nearly 35,000 donors who contribute, this PAC supports political candidates who support issues important to electric co-ops.
America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC allows electric co-ops to financially support federal candidates through personal dollars raised from co-op leaders and member-consumers. Your PAC contribution builds on our collective strength, which is grounded in the relationships between local electric co-ops, the communities they serve, and the candidates seeking to represent them.
For just a small amount a month, you can be sure your voice is heard in Washington, D.C. For more information on how to join, simply visit cooperative.com/pacdonation.

The PAC is just one tool in the NRECA's advocacy toolbox. Voices for Cooperative Power is a grassroots network of cooperative members who are giving input on energy policy decisions that impact co-ops and, by extension, our way of life. These advocates are also sharing about the ways cooperatives support communities and the value of the cooperative business model.
VCP’s main issue priorities include:
- Access to reliable, affordable, responsible power
- Support for co-op communities
- Implementation of futuristic solutions for rural communities
- Environmental stewardship
