About the HDA PAC

HDA PAC is governed by the PAC Advisory Group, comprising member company representatives and HDA staff. Our PAC Advisory Group is responsible for providing direction and strategy for disbursing funds to candidates for federal office. Working closely with member companies and government affairs staff, HDA PAC strives to elevate the role and value of healthcare distributors at the federal level.

 Our impact
