Wisconsin Credit Union Legislative Action Fund (WCULAF) and Credit Union Legislative Action Council (CULAC)

 

The Wisconsin Credit Union Legislative Action Fund (WCULAF) is the political action committee (PAC), sponsored by the Wisconsin Credit Union League, that credit union supporters utilize to provide support for state candidates. Credit Union Legislative Action Council (CULAC) supports candidates running for federal office and is sponsored by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA).

Both WCULAF and CULAC receive voluntary contributions from individuals.  That money is then used to support candidates or elected officials that are credit union supporters, hold influential positions or are strategically relevant in policymaking.  No contributions come from credit unions, co-ops, or other corporations.  No money from dues paid to The League or CUNA are contributed to candidates.

 

The election of credit union-friendly candidates is beneficial for Wisconsin's credit unions and their 2.2 million member-owners.  Using WCULAF and CULAC is one way The League and CUNA provide an effective voice for the industry in the legislative process at the state and federal levels. 

 

There is no minimum contribution for WCULAF or CULAC.  Please know that any and all amounts are greatly appreciated!
