Family Medicine Political Action Committee
The Family Medicine PAC is a voluntary political action committee that provides Michigan family physicians a strong voice in the state legislature and helps the MAFP in its efforts to impact both health policy and the overall practice environment for family physicians. 
The Family Medicine PAC provides an opportunity to the members of the Michigan Academy of Family Physicians to collectively support candidates for public office in Michigan who are interested in, and supportive of, issues that serve to uphold the mission of the MAFP. The purpose of the Family Medicine PAC is to:
- Encourage family physicians to take a more active role in state government affairs.
- Assist family physicians in understanding activity in the Michigan legislature and its effect on them, their practice and their patients.
- Build awareness of MAFP among members of the legislature and help impact policy discussions with implications for family medicine.
The PAC collects member contributions into a single account and distributes them to candidates under the direction of the Family Medicine PAC Board, comprised entirely of MAFP members.
