Through Metro PAC, the Metro Chamber invests in a political strategy that helps elect candidates who are business-friendly and have a vision for making the region prosper. During each election cycle, Metro PAC spends hundreds of hours vetting dozens of candidates running for local, state, and federal offices in the six-county region of El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties.

The June 8, 2010 election found Metro PAC endorsements to achieve an 88% success rate. View the June Election Scorecard here. To view Metro PAC's endorsements to date for the 2010 race, click here. Ahead of the 2010 elections, Metro PAC raised in 2009 more than $79,000.

Metro PAC was established in 1985 by the Metro Chamber Board of Directors which believed that for the Metro Chamber to be an effective advocate on behalf of the Sacramento region's business community, it must employ the full spectrum of public affairs, including endorsing and helping elect candidates for public office who support the chamber's mission of fostering regional economic prosperity.
