MEDPAC is the political action committee of the MMA.

MEDPAC

  • Endorses pro-medicine candidates for state office
  • Contributes to the campaigns of endorsed candidates
  • Generates grassroots action
  • Recommends candidates for national office to AMPAC, the AMA’s political action committee

Why Join MEDPAC?

MEDPAC is an integral part of the MMA’s advocacy efforts, as it enables and enhances organized medicine to directly impact the political atmosphere at the Capitol. To influence the debate in St. Paul, physicians must be engaged even earlier – on the campaign trail. MEDPAC works to elect candidates who support our policy positions.

Watch Now!

MEDPAC Chair Rolls Out MEDPAC membership campaign.

Many physicians make political contributions directly to candidates, and that’s terrific. But by pooling resources with other physicians and medical students, MEDPAC makes a specific and powerful statement to candidates and the public – “Organized medicine is engaged on the campaign trail and at the Capitol.”

Contributors to MEDPAC will also receive regular updates from the MMA’s lobbyists during the legislative session. These exclusive “behind the scenes” updates offer a special glimpse into action at the Capitol.
 

How Does MEDPAC Make Decisions?

MEDPAC is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of physicians, residents, and medical students from around the state and from across the political spectrum, and physicians from all types of practices. Contributions and endorsements are based on a candidates’ position on issues identified by the MMA as critical to physicians and patients.
