JOIN WYOPAC
The Wyoming Medical Political Action Committee (WYOPAC) promotes and strives for the improvement of government by encouraging and stimulating physicians to take a more active part in governmental affairs. WYOPAC invites contributions from WMS members and utilizes funds to support candidates based on their positions on healthcare-related issues. By organizing themselves, Wyoming physicians can more effectively impact political action and better understand the nature of that impact within government. WYOPAC is responsible for WMS political fundraising and candidate support.
WYOPAC is dedicated to creating a legislative environment that is open and fair when considering the interests of Wyoming physicians and their patients. WYOPAC committee members and WMS staff gather information, interview and support candidates of both parties, Republican and Democrat, during the primary and general elections. WYOPAC members review input from physicians and other sources on candidates’ backgrounds and their positions on medical issues. Candidates who receive WYOPAC endorsement, support, and funding are “friends of medicine” who have demonstrated a willingness to work with physicians in crafting the best possible policies for the future of Wyoming healthcare.
WYOPAC is not affiliated in any way with the American Medical Association (AMA) or the American Medical Political Action Committee (AMPAC). There was a time in WYOPAC’s history that funds contributed to WYOPAC were shared with AMPAC to support federal candidates. However, recently that has changed so that all money contributed to WYOPAC stays in Wyoming to support Wyoming candidates at the state level.
