Please Support Neurosurgery’s Advocacy Activities by Contributing to NeurosurgeryPAC

At the end of the second quarter of 2024, NeurosurgeryPAC continues to raise money to support those members of Congress who support neurosurgery and its patients, but still needs your support to achieve our end of the year fundraising goal! We are still advocating for many specialty physician issues and those activities are ongoing. Your political action committee (PAC) needs the resources to continue making progress and advance neurosurgery’s 2024 Legislative and Regulatory Agenda.

In the second quarter of 2024, NeurosurgeryPAC supported the following candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives: Reps. Brian Babin, DDS, (R-Texas), Yadira Caraveo, MD, (D-Colo.), Neal Dunn, MD, (R-Fla.), Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.), John Joyce, MD, (R-Pa.), Dan Meuser (R-Pa.), Richard Neal (D-Mass.), Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), Kim Schrier, MD, (D-Wash.) and Michelle Steel (R-Calif.). Candidates for U.S. Senate receiving PAC support included: Sens. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Bill Cassidy, MD, (R-La.) and John Thune (R-S.D.). Lastly, the PAC supported House candidate Amish Shah, MD, (D-Ariz.).

Finally, NeurosurgeryPAC contributed to the following party campaign committees: Across the Aisle PAC, Building Bridges PAC, Democratic National Committee (DNC), Healthcare Freedom Fund Super PAC, New Democrat Coalition Action Fund, Republican Governance Group/Tuesday Group PAC, Republican Main Street Partnership PAC and Value in Electing Women (VIEW) PAC.

Please remember that NeurosurgeryPAC is non-partisan and dedicated to advancing the interests of neurological surgeons and their patients by backing candidates for federal office who support neurosurgery’s policy goals, regardless of party affiliation. Click here for more information about NeurosurgeryPAC, including the list of 2024 donors, candidates receiving NeurosurgeryPAC support and more about the PAC in action.
