WASHINGTON—CUNA has launched a new website identifying each of the CULAC-backed candidates for the upcoming 2016 elections.
The site features an interactive U.S. map that shows the CULAC-supported candidates by state.
CUNA Chief Political Officer Richard Gose said there are more than 370 candidates, making up roughly 80% of those running this election cycle, that CUNA is supporting.
CUNA said that the CUNA/league system invested nearly $6 million on the pro-credit union candidates for the U.S. House and Senate in the 2016 elections. CUNA said its support included not only direct contributions to candidates by CULAC, the Credit Union Legislative Action Council, but direct voter engagement via mailers and ads on television, radio, and online in targeted districts.
