The Credit Union Political Action Council (CUPAC) is a voluntary association of credit union members, chapters and credit unions. CUPAC’s purpose is to promote good government and favorable legislation for credit unions through raising and disbursing funds to candidates and legislators sympathetic to the credit union movement. It is not affiliated with any one political party. This independent and autonomous organization is not supported by League dues, with contributions to CUPAC used almost exclusively to support candidates.
