What is OKDHA PAC?
The OK Dental Hygienists’ Political Action Committee, (OKDHA PAC) is a voluntary, non-profit committee which pools campaign contributions from dental hygienists to donate funds to potential future legislators running for office in Oklahoma. The PAC supports the goals of the Oklahoma Dental Hygienists’ Association, but operates independently, and autonomously. OKDHA PAC is not affiliated with any one political party but supports individual candidates who align with dental hygienists’ interests.
The purpose of OKDHA PAC is to:
- Assist dental hygienists and others in organizing themselves for more effective political action and in carrying out their civic responsibility.
- Endorse those candidates whose political principles promote the OK Dental Hygienists’ Association’s purposes, policies, and goals.
- Raise funds through fundraising for the PAC.
- Donate to endorsed candidates.
- Provide volunteers to support campaign activities for endorsed candidates.
