Your Connection to the Legislature
MAC is your voice in the legislature. It has been very successful over the years lobbying on behalf of county commissioners on a variety of topics,and it continues to represent the voices of 699 commissioners from every corner of Michigan. In this era of legislative term limits, however, it is more difficult to form meaningful relationships with legislators before term limits turn them out.

The MAC Board of Directors for these reasons and in order to help more of MAC’s friends in the legislature in a more effective manner, has recognized the need for a strong, active political action committee the MAC PAC.

What is MAC PAC?
MAC PAC is a political action committee, or PAC. PACs give money to candidates running for elective office. In MAC PAC’s case, it will only give money to incumbent state legislators who have a record of being a friend to counties.

By making a donation to MAC PAC, you will become a member of MAC PAC. As a member of MAC PAC you will have the chance to shape Lansing policy and have a lot of fun doing it.

MAC PAC members will have the opportunity to meet with legislators on important topics, and attend MAC PAC events and fundraisers with other members from around the state. These functions, and other membership activities, will enable you to become well-versed in state and federal legislative issues. As a MAC PAC member you will be a part of our strong grass roots effort, and you can make the opportunity what you wish it to be. You will have access to information, experience, and MAC’s knowledgeable staff; the perfect combination to help MAC become an even stronger voice on behalf of your county.

MAC PAC is the best way for you to protect your county’s best interest in the state legislature.
