POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
The Voice of Business at the State Capitol
Wyoming Chamber Political Action Committee (PAC)
The Wyoming Chamber’s success at the State Capitol doesn’t happen by chance — it’s powered by the Wyoming Chamber Political Action Committee (PAC).​ Our PAC is fueled by your generous contributions, which enable us to support pro-business candidates who champion economic growth and free enterprise. With your backing, we can continue building a stronger, more business-friendly Wyoming.
Why does the Chamber have a PAC?
Every decision made in the halls of government impacts the way Wyoming businesses operate — from taxes and regulation to workforce development and infrastructure. The Chamber PAC helps ensure that the people making those decisions understand and support the needs of job creators. Whether you're a small business owner or part of a large company, the policies shaped at the capitol affect your bottom line. With your help, we can ensure that the voice of business is not just heard — it's represented.
