OPPAC

The Ohio Psychiatrists' Political Action Committee is a separate organization sponsored by the OPPA. It is a non-partisan organization and is the political arm of the OPPA.

OPPAC's Purpose

  • To support the legislative goals of the OPPA;
  • To be a participant in the political process by contributing funds to legislators who are important to psychiatry and the patients we serve; and
  • To promote improvement in the government by encouraging and stimulating physicians specializing in psychiatry and others to take a more active and effective part in government affairs.

How Contributions to OPPAC are Spent

  • Contributions provide us access to legislators;
  • Contributions are given to those key legislators who serve on committees important to us and/or serve in a leadership position;
  • Contributions to elected legislators are not based on political party affiliation; and
  • Contributions are not made to political parties.

How OPPAC Achieves Its Purpose

  • Monitoring legislative bills which affect our patients and our profession;
  • Educating legislators about mental illness;
  • Supporting legislative bills which are for our patients and our profession and opposing those which are not;
  • Making financial contributions to legislators in key positions and to those who support our issues and views; and
