Political Action

Political action helps protect the interests of electric cooperative members by supporting policies that promote affordable, reliable energy.

Through initiatives like America's Electric Cooperatives PAC, members can advocate for sensible energy legislation and ensure that their voices are heard at the local, state, and national levels.

We need your support!

Support common-sense energy policy and help educate our legislators about the risks to power reliability.

Get involved in the legislative issues that impact your cooperative! When state or federal lawmakers create regulations affecting the electric industry, you will feel the effects. This could mean higher costs for you, more challenges in building power plants, or potential issues with power reliability. Ultimately, the energy laws made in Columbus, OH, and Washington, D.C., have a direct impact on you.

That’s why we want you to participate in our political action initiatives. Recently, our member-driven efforts successfully defeated a state proposal that would have increased our kilowatt-hour tax by $300,000. Currently, we are facing costly and ineffective environmental regulations that could be detrimental to individual homeowners and businesses, as well as our economy as a whole.

Remember, we are customer-owned and not-for-profit. Our goal is to provide environmentally responsible power at affordable prices while ensuring reliability.

It’s a fact, whether we like it or not, that decisions made in Washington, D.C., and at our state capitals impact how much we pay for electricity.
