SEPA Members are encouraged to get involved in politics. While SEPA is active in promoting the interests of Merit Contractors before the legislature and government agencies in Harrisburg and Washington, D.C., we are only effective when our members speak out on issues that impact the day-to-day business operations of our members. The ABC National Legislative Conference provides a perfect opportunity for our members to meet with legislators.
The purpose of ABC PAC is to work within the federal and state election process to further the goals of Merit Construction through direct involvement in supporting and opposing candidates for The U. S. Senate, the U. S. House of Representatives, the PA Senate, the PA House, county and local office. This is accomplished through educating our members on the importance of political activism and through financial support of Merit Construction candidates. ABC's PAC is your voice in elective politics. ABC PAC is one of the largest pro-business PACs in the nation. Contributions to ABC PAC must be from personal funds rather than corporate funds.
