America’s Credit Unions Announces Advertising Spend For Several Major House Races
By CU Today Staff —
WASHINGTON--America’s Credit Unions and its PAC Monday announced five political advertising campaigns for House candidates ahead of November’s general election.
The bipartisan spend includes new advertisements that will begin running over the next two weeks for the following members:
“America’s Credit Unions’ political engagement is rooted in a balanced, bipartisan approach,” said Trey Hawkins, head of political affairs at America’s Credit Unions. “These lawmakers have consistently championed credit union priorities that protect the financial choices of everyday Americans in their districts. In a divided Congress, America’s Credit Unions has an obligation to back candidates who understand the financial needs of Americans and will stand up for lenders back home.”
America’s Credit Unions represents more than 4,000 credit unions serving approximately 146 million members. Its political action committee, funded through voluntary contributions, is among the largest trade association PACs in the United States and contributes to candidates from both major political parties. The new advertising campaigns consist of both independent expenditures and coordinated member communications targeting registered voters in credit union member households, ACU said.
America’s Credit Unions and its PAC previously announced a total $10 million spend in support of over 340 total candidates on the general election ballot, including advertising for Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH-SEN) for U.S. Senate, and U.S. House candidates Reps. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ-06), Susie Lee (D-NV-3), Tom Suozzi (D-NY-3), David Valadao (R-CA-22), and North Carolina state Rep. Jennifer Balkcom (R-NC-11). Through the 2026 primaries, 96% of backed candidates won and advanced to the November general election.
