Government Relations

Political Action

City, State, and National government will continue to have a strong impact on the way electrical contractors do business. Electrical contractors need representation at these levels of government and must work together to elect knowledgeable, responsible men and women, who are sensitive to the needs of our business interests.

Electrical Contractor's Association members achieve this measure of representation by their participation in several political action committees. First is the Electrical Contractors´ Association Political Action Committee (ECAPAC).The ECAPAC represents ECA members on the City and State level of government by contributing to candidates for office who will support electrical contractors issues in local city councils and the Illinois General Assembly.

ECA members also have the ability to participate in the Electrical Construction Political Action Committee (ECPAC) that represents the interests of electrical contractors at the national level of government. The ECPAC contributes to candidates for office who will support electrical contractor issues in the US Congress.

Members or others interested in supporting either of these Political Action Committees should contact the Association office at 708-531-0022 for further information.
