Advocating for union construction and maintenance.

TAUC’s Political Action Committee (TAUCPAC) is committed to providing opportunities for individuals to engage in dynamic public policy advocacy and advance the goals of the union construction and maintenance sector. TAUCPAC collects personal contributions from individuals employed by TAUC members and distributes those funds to worthy candidates for the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives who believe, and have demonstrated their beliefs in, the principles to which our industry is dedicated.

 

Contributions are not tax-deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. All contributions are voluntary and you may refuse to contribute without reprisal. Contributions must be made with personal—not corporate—funds. TAUC will not favor or disadvantage anyone by reason of the amount of your contribution or your decision not to contribute. Federal law requires us to use our best efforts to obtain and report the name, mailing address, occupation and employer for each individual whose contributions aggregate in excess of $200 in a calendar year. Individuals may contribute a personal maximum of $5,000 to TAUCPAC per calendar year.
