Created by the Almond Alliance in 2014, the California Almond Industry Political Action Committee (Almond PAC) protects our industry and promotes shared interests within the community. The Almond PAC capitalizes on individual contributions and collectively distributes them strategically to key candidates for Congressional and statewide elections.

The Almond PAC provides the ability to be a vital, unified force in the political arena. Through Almond PAC donations, contributions can be made to more candidates. On a national and state scale, this has a greater impact on each dollar an industry member contributes.

We work hard to successfully build the Almond PAC to support candidates who value the almond industry and take the time to understand it. Help us make that voice louder, stronger, and more effective. Contribute to the Almond PAC today.
