The 12th Annual PAC’s Peak Challenge is underway right now through May 31! This is your opportunity to maximize your impact on the Texas Legislature.

The ATPE Political Action Committee (ATPE-PAC) helps support your profession, your association's principles, and public education as an institution. ATPE advocates for a comprehensive member-driven legislative program that includes enhanced benefits for educators and students, but we need the support of legislators and other elected officials to accomplish our priorities.

Your financial support enables ATPE-PAC to make strategic contributions to candidates and officeholders who will fight for your profession. Need proof? Three-quarters of the pro-public education candidates who received ATPE-PAC donations in the 2020 primaries won their race. The 2023 legislative session will be a tough one, making it extremely important for the education community to help elect pro-public education candidates in the 2022 elections.

If you want pro-public education allies to support educators and students, keep our schools safe, protect retirement benefits, and reject costly private school vouchers in the 2023 legislative session, we must work together now by voting and backing ATPE-PAC.

Our goal is to raise $20,000 for your ATPE-PAC by May 31 to increase our ability to financially support pro-public education lawmakers who value your profession. But we need your help. No donation is too small, and they add up fast!

Hear why ATPE Lobbyist Andrea Chevalier and ATPE-PAC Hall of Fame member Gayle Sampley believe donating to the ATPE Political Action Committee is an essential part of Texas public education advocacy. Need more inspiration? Give to ATPE-PAC by May 31, and you may qualify for recognition at next year’s ATPE Summit. Click here to learn more about our PAC awards.

Remember: None of your dues dollars are used to make ATPE-PAC contributions. To stay funded, ATPE-PAC depends solely on voluntary donations from ATPE members like us! 

You can also purchase a T-shirt or coffee mug to help with our fundraising efforts. We have some great designs on Bonfire for you to pick from. Bonfire will print and ship the items directly to you. Proceeds of the sales will also benefit PAC, so take a look! 

Donate today online or by texting “ATPEPAC” to 76278! 
 

ATPE-PAC solicits contributions only from ATPE members, employees, and their families. Participation in ATPE-PAC is voluntary. Please do not print or forward this information using school district resources.
