Political Action Committee

COMPTEL PAC is a non-partisan Political Action Committee (PAC) that enables our member companies to present a united voice and devote their resources to supporting Members of Congress who are dedicated to preserving the success of the competitive communications industry.

COMPTEL PAC utilizes voluntary contributions to support our allies on the Hill, who make policy decisions that impact the growth and operations of our member companies’ businesses.

Federal Election Commission regulations require COMPTEL PAC to obtain written permission from an authorized representative of a member company to solicit voluntary contributions from employees.
