As the 2006 elections draw near, PMA will begin to focus more attention to its political action committee, Voice of the Industry Committee (PMAVIC).

Once a core group of congressional allies are identified, PMA will distribute campaign money in a variety of ways. To maximize contact with members of Congress, members often will present the contribution while hosting a congressional plant tour.
