The Kansas Contractors Association-Political
Action Committee (KCA-PAC) is at the forefront of the association's political
action services.
The KCA-PAC has been for the past four
years one of the ten biggest (in funds raised and distributed) in the state.
The KCA Legislative Committee, with input
from politically-influential members, determines which legislators are
friends of the industry, and business-oriented, and therefore should receive
KCA-PAC contributions for their election and term expenses.
The success rate of KCA-PAC sponsored candidates
in the last two elections has been more than 75 percent.
The association also develops a voting
record of legislators on key issues affecting the industry, to use as a
guide of those supporting the industry.
Members and staff attend fund raisers of
industry friends, and maintain a strong presence at the Statehouse, where
the association is well respected and considered the spokesperson for the
heavy, highway and utility construction industry.
