FAQ

What is the ATA Action PAC? .

The ATA Action Political Action Committee (PAC) is a key initiative of ATA Action, the advocacy arm of the American Telemedicine Association. The PAC provides a structured avenue for telehealth allies to participate in the political process, supporting candidates whose work will have a positive impact on virtual care policy across the United States.

    How will the PAC decide who to support?

    The PAC will build relationships with candidates who understand and support telehealth. The PAC Executive Committee, which is comprised of ATA Action Advocacy Council members, is responsible for identifying candidates to support.  Contribution decisions are based on various factors, including whether a candidate resides in a state where ATA Action members have facilities or employees, whether the candidate holds a leadership position or a seat on a relevant committee or caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives or Senate, and other factors deemed important by the PAC.
