Abstract
Political Action Committees (PACs) pool resources from like-minded individuals to support political campaigns and advocate for common interests. The Virginia Dental Association (VDA) PAC, funded by voluntary contributions from member dentists, supports Virginia legislators who advocate for dental care issues. The VDA PAC focuses on policy rather than politics and evaluates candidates based on their positions and history of supporting dental issues. Contributions to the VDA PAC help ensure that dentists have a voice in shaping health care policy, which is crucial for the future of dental care in Virginia.
