BoatPAC, the federal political action committee of the MRAA and the National Marine Manufacturers Association, exceeded its 2018 fundraising goal of $200,000, raising nearly $202,000 from 348 donors. That figure is up from $154,000 and 312 donors in 2017. BoatPAC supports the election of candidates to the United States Congress who are strong advocates for recreational boating.
Matt Gruhn, President of MRAA said, “We are very appreciative of everyone who helped BoatPAC achieve this fundraising goal. With nearly 100 percent of MRAA’s Board of Directors and numerous MRAA members contributing, we’re thrilled that our advocacy efforts are stronger than they’ve ever been.”
In 2019, MRAA and NMMA will once again raise the bar and set BoatPAC’s fundraising goal at $250,000.
