AK CARE / America’s Electric Cooperative PAC
Alaska Committee for the Advancement of Rural Electrification (AK CARE): A tradition of helping candidates who support electrification
The Alaska Committee for the Advancement of Rural Electrification (AK CARE) was organized by Alaska’s electric cooperative leaders in 1985.
AK CARE contributions are for candidates who support rural electrification efforts that benefit more than a half-million Alaska electric consumers. AK CARE is nonpartisan and makes contributions on the basis of a candidate’s support for positions and policies endorsed by the membership of Alaska Power Association.
AK CARE also has a partnership with the America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC, NRECA’s political action committee. America’s Electric Cooperative PAC (formerly known as ACRE) was formed in 1966 with the mission of making the voice of rural electric cooperative consumers heard in the U.S. Congress. Currently, America’s Electric Cooperative PAC is among the top 100 largest PACs in the nation with more than 30,000 individuals contributing. America’s Electric Cooperative PAC is truly a grassroots roots PAC.
The primary purpose of America’s Electric Cooperative PAC is to advance the legislative goals of electric cooperatives across the country. America’s Electric Cooperative PAC makes campaign contributions to candidates for Congress who support electric cooperative goals, who share electric cooperative values, and who want electric cooperatives to be successful.
