Our members’ voluntary donations to ATPE-PAC are used to make bipartisan contributions to officeholders/candidates who have demonstrated support for public education and ATPE philosophies. With what is expected to be a competitive general election season, it’s important that we have the financial means to continue to help candidates/officeholders who’ve demonstrated their support for public education and your profession. Donate as little as $5 to ATPE-PAC today.

A donation to ATPE-PAC is an investment in Texas public schools and their students.

ATPE-PAC solicits contributions only from ATPE members, employees, and their families. Participation in ATPE-PAC is voluntary. Members can contribute any amount or nothing at all without affecting their ATPE membership status, rights, or benefits.
