The National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA) has formed a political action committee (PAC) to support U.S. Congressional candidates who are advocates of issues and legislation for the electronic life safety and security industry.
“PACs allow for organizations to find candidates that have a real interest in seeing companies and industries succeed,” says NBFAA President George Gunning. “The NBFAA PAC will enhance our Federal government relations goals and assist us supporting our Congressional friends.”
NBFAA lobbyist and Director of Government Relations John Chwat says PACs will help avoid the possible problems inherent in companies trying to manage individual contributions.
“PACs are an invaluable resource for associations and their member companies to facilitate contributions to U.S. Congressional candidates in both House and Senate races. The legal minefield one must navigate to give directly to a candidate is confusing at best,” he says.
NBFAA will begin soliciting PAC contributions this year directly from member companies according to federal rules and regulations. For more information about the NBFAA PAC, contact Chwat at (703) 684-7703 or via E-mail at [email protected].
