When you join WSSRA, you do not automatcially join the WSSR Political Action Commitee (PAC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bWSSR-PAC is a legally separate organization from the Washington State School Retirees Association (WSSRA) but works closely with the WSSRA Legislative Committee, WSSRA Legislative Director and WSSRA contracted lobbyists. The main difference is that the WSSR-PAC contributes to candidates\u2019 campaigns when
they run for election while the WSSRA Legislative Committee visits the State legislators when they are in session and discusses House and Senate Bills that impact school retirees. Both organizations work for all Washington State school retirees\u2019 benefits now and in the future but in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the WSSR-PAC website is to raise dollars and to inform all school employees on how they can contribute to the WSSR-PAC. The PAC delivers campaign contributions to candidates that support Washington State school retirees\u2019 retirement and health care benefits including annual cost of living adjustments.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
