Contributing to the Funds and Political Action Committee

Missouri NEA has a political action committee (PAC) to pool funds which are used to help elect candidates to public office who support the interests of children and public education as well as support MNEA’s Legislative Platform and positions.
 

Elected officials make decisions that translate into regulations for schools and classrooms, including smaller class sizes, full-time kindergarten, pre-school screenings, school-safety measures, professional development and ample funding for programs.
 

Only after the Political Action Committee has completed a lengthy recommendation process—interviewing candidates, scrutinizing the records of those in public office, studying candidates’ responses to questions about education-related issues—are direct contributions made to support those candidates who measure up.
 

Money for political activity comes from voluntary contributions from members either through payroll deduction (PRD), electronic funds transmittal (EFT) or as individual cash contributions.
 

Missouri NEA welcomes contributions. If you are an MNEA member, log in MNEA Members Only to learn how to contribute to PAC.
