WASHINGTON — CUNA reported that credit union contributions to its Credit Union Legislative Action Council, its political action committee, hit a record of more than $2 million.
Richard Gose, CUNA's senior vice president for political affairs, attributed the solid increase to a shift in attitudes about the necessity of contributing to credit union causes among credit union members and a growing number of different tools to make contributing easier to do.
Speaking to reporters about CULAC's performance, Gose particularly noted that the increased contributions came in a non-election year, when fundraising efforts in the past have generally yielded lower results. CULAC's previous record overall came last year, $1.98 million. CULAC's previous record for non-election year came in 2005 with $1.77 million.
