Contribute the OANA Political Action Committee (OKCRNA-PAC) Today!

 

The OKCRNA-PAC was established to increase the political influence of Oklahoma's CRNAs at the state capitol. OANA's PAC operates on the state level just like our National CRNA-PAC operates on the national level.

Why do Oklahoma CRNAs need to have political influence?

Oklahoma State law defines our practice. Those who wish to change our practice use their political influence to change state law. Without political influence of our own, we have no chance of success in preventing legislative or regulatory changes that threaten our practice. We need this influence to defeat, change, or introduce legislation that affects our practice in Oklahoma. The OKCRNA-PAC helps CRNAs elect and re-elect political leaders in Oklahoma who understand our industry and support our profession.

How does the OKCRNA-PAC receive its funding?

The OKCRNA-PAC is funded solely through the voluntary contributions of Oklahoma's CRNAs. Since funding is not mandatory, the leadership of the OKCRNA-PAC committee must continuously solicit contributions. These contributions are used only for political contributions and nothing else.

How are the OKCRNA-PAC Funds distributed?

During the election cycle, the OANA directors carefully review each candidate. We fund those candidates who are interested in our issues, have voted with us in the past, and are likely to do so in the future. It is important to note that we are completely non-partisian with regard to political party affiliation. The decision about how the contributions are spent is made not only by studying the candidates but also through your recommendations. Since this is your PAC, we listen to you about how the contributions are distributed.

How do I help protect my profession?

The best way to help is to make a contribution to the OKCRNA-PAC and inform the OANA leadership of any personal or professional relationship you have with an Oklahoma legislator. We have a monthly credit card draft program that makes giving easy, painless, and convenient. We also accept single contributions by personal check or credit card. Every Oklahoma CRNA benefits from the efforts of the OKCRNA-PAC and every Oklahoma CRNA should fund these efforts. Please do your part, today, to advocate for your profession and shape its future.
