In March of 2010, the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce & Convention-Visitors Bureau Board of Directors approved the formation of the Santa Clara Chamber Political Action Committee (SCCPAC).

The mission of the committee will be to review, research and recommend support of and/or opposition to proposed ballot measures and legislation, ordinances and other actions of local, county and state governmental bodies.  It will also be the responsibility of this committee to seek out, evaluate qualifications of and endorse those candidates who are running for public office at the local, county and state level and who support the free enterprise system, believe in fiscally responsible government and whose views represent the interests of the business community.  David D. Tobkin is the Chair of the SCCPAC.

The Santa Clara Chamber PAC is a separately funded organization from the Chamber.  No membership dues funds will be utilized for the PAC.  All funds collected for the SCCPAC are done through separate donations and gifts.  To download the donation form for the SCCPAC, please click here.  It is the hope of our Board of Directors that you will consider becoming a supporter of your local business community by contributing to the SCCPAC.

Should you have any questions about the SCCPAC, please contact Steve Van Dorn, President & CEO of the Chamber, directly at (408) 380-1231.  He would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how this new organization will be making a positive impact in Santa Clara and our region.
