CULAC is the Credit Union Legislative Action Council that is the official national PAC for credit unions.  It contributes money to individuals running for the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.  Much of the support credit unions receive on Capitol Hill has come from those who have been supported by CULAC in years past.  While we raise a respectable $2 million per election cycle (2 years), the bank PACs outspend us 10 to 1.  The Washington goal for this year is $47,226.12.  We have raised just $11,000 to date.  Credit unions, Corporates, and CUSOs may not make contributions to CULAC.  CULAC may only receive money from individuals.
