When an endorsement is made by the BIPAC Action Fund, the organization works to create a massive employee education and Get Out The Vote effort in the district through local businesses, affiliated state and local business organizations and its extensive membership of corporations and trade associations.  The endorsement is also accompanied by a contribution from BIPAC's Action Fund and BIPAC will encourage the support of its membership on the candidates' behalf.  Click here to visit BIPAC's Action Fund website and see the full list of supported candidates for the 2014 cycle.
