MODentPAC: Make Your Voice Heard

PAC dollars help to build relationships to move MDA’s legislative agenda forward. Not only do these funds contribute to our successes but they help prevent legislation that is harmful to the dental profession from getting traction. These lobby groups often have deep pockets, which creates strong influence. MODentPAC has a history of being one of Missouri’s most influential healthcare political action committees. But for that to remain true, we need to be able to keep contributing to campaigns. Contact Halie Payne for any questions about PAC giving.

Hosting a Fundraiser

There is no more effective way to cement a good relationship with a lawmaker or potential lawmaker than to participate in his or her election or re-election campaign by hosting a Fundraiser. Fundraising events help the candidate raise money and give them the chance to meet and talk with voters. In short, they appreciate and remember those who have helped them in their efforts. The MDA will be glad to help as you plan your fundraiser; just give us a call.
