Protect Your Profession... Support the FVMA PAC!

Mission of the PACAssist the legislative efforts of Florida’s veterinarians.

Enhance the FVMA’s visibility by encouraging members to take part in legislative affairs.

Educate veterinarians on the nature and actions of Florida’s government and how political donating affects outcomes.

Support candidates that care about issues important to the veterinary industry and small businesses by donating to statewide political campaigns.

The reason the mission works is simple…

Donating to political campaigns does not buy votes, but

it does initiate access to policy-makers.

What is a PAC?A Political Action Committee (PAC) is a popular term for a committee organized by like-minded people, like veterinarians, for the purpose of raising and spending money to elect and defeat candidates. The PAC’s money comes from voluntary contributions by members. PACs represent business, labor or ideological interests. PACs can give to a candidate or committee each election cycle (primary, general, run-off or special). In Florida, the maximum campaign contribution per candidate is $500. In short, PACs give professional associations a legal avenue for financially supporting candidates that will be helpful to their industry.

How will my contribution be used?Absolutely 100% of the contribution is used to elect pro-veterinarian/pro-business candidates running in the state of Florida. The FVMA lobbyists and FVMA leadership will thoroughly examine candidates before recommending them. The FVMA welcomes suggestions from any contributing PAC member when deciding which candidates to support.

Is the FVMA affiliated with a certain party?The FVMA PAC is neither a Republican nor a Democratic organization. Your contribution to the FVMA PAC goes to pro-veterinarian candidates, regardless of political party.

What do I get for contributing?Up to 4,000 bills are introduced each year of the Florida Legislative Session. Elections decide who will be voting on these bills. The FVMA PAC helps elect the people who write the laws you and your business must live with. The PAC provides you with the opportunity to have a collective impact on the election of officials who will shape the landscape in which your practice will thrive.
