Support Cotton's SupportersGive To The TCA PACThe following was adopted by members in Executive Session: "We encourage our members and their employees to make personal contributions to the Texas Cotton Association Merchants Fund, which is the political action committee of the TCA. These funds are used to assist candidates who understand and support the cotton industry in Texas." As you know it's very vital that we maintain a high profile with the legislators and other officials. Cotton needs legislators who will continue to defend our voice in a competitive market. It is necessary to build our PAC reserves in order to support candidates up for re-election, other campaigns, and office holder expenses. TCA established a Political Action Committee in 1974 registered with the Secretary of the State of Texas and the Texas Ethics Commission in Austin to accept personal contributions from members of this Association and their employees. The funds collected are then distributed to provide financial campaign support to help elect or re-elect legislators and to also contribute to officeholder expenses for legislators supporting our goals. Your contribution will help! It will be combined with other member contributions for maximum effectiveness. The Cotton Merchants Fund requests that you please make your personal check payable (no corporate checks are allowed by law) to "The Texas Cotton Association Cotton Merchants Fund" and mail the completed form and check to this Association at P.O. Box 765098, Dallas, Texas, 75376-5098. If you prefer to use your personal credit/debit card, the online form is available through the button above. Contributors to the PAC Fund will be recognized at the the meetings of The Texas Cotton Association with a name badge PAC contributor ribbon to wear to all functions. In order to maintain compliance with the Texas Ethics Commission, our GPAC only accepts personal checks or personal credit/debit cards from members of the solicitable class, defined as members of this association, employees of those firms and their family. We thank you in advance for contributing to the Cotton Merchants PAC that supports those in our Texas Legislature! Your gift today will allow the Cotton Merchants PAC to advocate for cotton and facilitate our ability to "Support Cotton Supporters" and educate new leadership among our Texas lawmakers. It is the goal of the PAC to advance cotton policy that is the voice of our members, handling the largest cash crop in the state, which will continue the enormous economic impact to our Texas economy! Please support those who are our cotton voice! The PAC invites all TCA members and their employees and families, to support cotton’s supporters in TEXAS, by contributing to The Texas Cotton Association Cotton Merchants Fund today! Please act now!
