The Arkansas Nurses Association looks forward to continuing the legislative successes of the 93rd Arkansas General Assembly. Nurses advocate every day for patients. But who is advocating for nurses? ANPAC works hard to ensure nurses have a voice at the State Capitol, and your PAC contribution makes the difference in electing nurse champions to the Arkansas General Assembly. It’s critically important, now more than ever, to make sure nurses have a seat at the table. For 110 years, the Arkansas Nurses Association has been working on nurses’ behalf to elect and re-elect nurse champions to public office. ANPAC’s sole source of funding comes from nurse’s voluntary contributions and works to elect leaders who will be steadfast in their support for nurses and their patients. None of ANPAC’s contributions are allocated toward the administration of the PAC. The PAC is the only way ARNA can support candidates for state office, regardless of party, for office. Contribution to the ANPAC can be sent to ANPAC, 1123 S. University, Ste 235, Little Rock, AR 72204. An online portal will be available soon. Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-4) Senator John Boozman
