About the PAC:

The Ventura Chamber of Commerce’s Political Action Committee was established in 1991 when Chamber PACs were not the norm. Today a larger percentage of Chambers are establishing PACs as a major component of their business plan to help ensure that their communities have a strong local economy.

The mission of the PAC is “ To seek out, endorse and support candidates to run for public office at the city, county, state and federal levels who support the free enterprise system, believe in fiscally responsible government, and whose views represent the interest of both the private and public sectors of the economy.

• To elect pro-business candidates
• To conduct forums and interviews
• To endorse candidates and establish protocols and implementation of campaign for success
• To develop a fundraising strategy to accomplish goals”
