As the Chamber strives to help small businesses grow, we realize the role that political action plays in that process. Business owners need politicians who will stand up for their needs, not ones who aim to tear them down. The Greater Bakersfield Chamber Political Action Committee (BAKPAC) was started in 1999. This committee is focused on endorsing and funding business-friendly candidates for office.
BAKPAC is our way of making sure Members’ voices are heard.
*All PAC funds are separate from funds of the Greater Bakersfield Chamber. BAKPAC has a separate governing board, which does include some representation from the Chamber’s Board of Directors. The Greater Bakersfield Chamber’s Political Action Committee is a state and local PAC.
