Why Cal Hy-PAC?

Cal Hy-PAC is your Political Action Committee.

Cal Hy-PAC enables dental hygienists to collectively support candidates for the California Legislature who share your interests. This joint effort provides a stronger voice for oral health care concerns.

What is Cal Hy-PAC?

CDHA’s PAC is a voluntary non-profit committee of dental hygienists who are interested in participation by supporting state elected officials of the California Assembly and California Senate.

How Cal Hy-PAC Works

We encourage and welcome your input and recommendations for those candidates who will receive support from Cal Hy-PAC. Candidate recommendations go to the Executive PAC Committee for review and selections.

The Cal Hy-PAC committee is directed by a six member board of trustees. The board is responsible for reviewing and selecting candidates to receive Cal Hy-PAC support, as well as manage the fundraising and communication activities of the PAC.

Cal Hy-PAC - is a separate fund established by CDHA. This Political Action Committee of CDHA is the only state, non-partisan PAC that represents you, by helping elect pro-hygiene candidates for the California Assembly and Senate.
