If you could shape the future of our community by voting, would you? While it might seem like a simple question, the 2024 general elections will take place nationwide next month, giving Medina Electric Cooperative members—like you—the opportunity to make your voice heard on issues that affect our community. This election is our opportunity to elect candidates who support energy policies that promote safe, reliable, affordable energy.
Medina EC understands the importance of getting involved, being heard and voting with co-op issues in mind. Here are a few ways you, our members, can help.
Voices for Cooperative Power is a grassroots network of co-op members that was created to help elected officials better understand the many ways your electric co-op supports you and your community. By joining the VCP movement, you can receive updates on the issues that matter most and, when needed, information on how to contact your elected officials to voice your opinions.
America’s Electric Cooperative PAC is a federal political action committee of the nation’s electric cooperatives. The PAC is funded by grassroots contributions from electric co-op members and employees in 48 states. By giving support to America’s Electric Cooperative PAC, you are financially helping to build the collective strength of co-ops’ voices in Washington, D.C.
Rural Friends of Electric Cooperatives is similar to America’s Electric Cooperative PAC but with a focus on the representatives of and in the state of Texas. Founded in 1976, Rural Friends supports candidates who will speak for and protect the interests of electric cooperatives and our consumer-members.
Co-ops Vote is a national, non-partisan initiative focused on enhancing co-op’s political strength through relationship-building with policymakers and keeping members informed with a list of candidates and current elected officials in each state.
