Political Advocacy
With the threat of taxation always looming, it is more important than ever to ensure our lawmakers understand the differences between not-for-profit credit unions and other types of financial institutions. Your association actively seeks to engage members and elected officials in grassroots advocacy by raising and distributing funds through two political action committees, DakCUPAC (formerly CUPAC) and America’s Credit Unions PAC (formerly CULAC). Thankfully, these funds have been helping to build a strong credit union political backbone for many years.
DakCUPAC is the state Political Action Committee (PAC) for Dakota Credit Union Association, registered with the Secretary of State in both South Dakota and North Dakota. America’s Credit Unions PAC is the federal Political Action Council for America's Credit Unions and is the national PAC that contributes to our federal candidates with heavy input from the Dakota Credit Union Association. Each are run by a board of trustees made up of credit union professionals and volunteers.
Donations to DakCUPAC/America's Credit Unions PAC are used to support credit union friendly candidates in their bids for state and federal office.
