In conjunction with the upcoming 2025 ACCP Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, ACCP’s Political Action Committee (ACCP-PAC) is pleased to announce the launch of the 2025 ACCP-PAC PRN Challenge.
Consistent with the priorities set by ACCP’s strategic plan and its organization-wide commitment to clinical practice transformation, ACCP’s Washington, D.C., office is focused on an advocacy effort emphasizing the integration of coverage and payment for comprehensive clinical pharmacy services as part of evolving, team-based payment models within Medicare and across the spectrum of health payers.
Thanks to your financial contributions, ACCP’s Government Affairs team in Washington recently attended a political event in support of Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger, one of the leading pharmacists currently serving in Congress. Representative Harshbarger serves on the influential House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which has jurisdiction over Medicare issues.
Now we are specifically requesting that PRN members demonstrate their commitment to the our top advocacy priorities by contributing to ACCP-PAC.

How the 2025 Challenge Will Work
- The ACCP-PAC PRN Challenge will determine which PRN provides the greatest PAC support.
- To qualify for the challenge, PRN members must contribute a minimum of $25.
- PRN members who make a PAC contribution online may designate a PRN to receive credit for their contribution.
- ACCP members who belong to multiple PRNs can make multiple contributions in the name of each PRN, but only 1 PRN can receive credit for any single contribution.
- The challenge will recognize 2 winners:
- The PRN whose members contribute the most money in total
- The PRN with the highest percentage of members who contribute to the PAC
- The winning PRNs will be awarded coveted preferential time slots for PRN Business Meetings at the next ACCP Annual Meeting.
- The challenge concludes on October 31, 2025.
- Please contribute online at www.accpaction.org.

More About ACCP-PAC
ACCP-PAC is the only means by which ACCP can provide financial support to help candidates for Congress who understand and support the College’s issues and share its vision of a team-based, patient-centered, quality-driven approach to health care delivery.
Unlike contributions to the ACCP Foundation, ACCP-PAC cannot accept contributions directly from PRNs. All PAC contributions must be made by individuals from personal funds. Because of Federal Election Commission regulations, PAC contributions are NOT deductible as charitable donations for federal tax purposes and must be made from personal funds and/or post-tax dollars.
Who Receives ACCP-PAC Support?
ACCP-PAC is a nonpartisan, member-driven initiative, and all decisions regarding financial contributions to candidates are made by the PAC Governing Council according to certain established criteria:
- Position on key health care committees in Congress
- Proven support for pharmacy and health care–related issues
- Previous health care experience
The key health care–related committees in the House of Representatives are the Ways & Means and Energy & Commerce committees; those in the Senate are the Finance & the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committees.
ACCP members who contribute to the PAC may recommend candidates to receive contributions. All PAC contributor recommendations will be considered; however, we may not accommodate all requests. The ACCP-PAC Governing Council must approve all candidate contributions.
Thank you in advance for your support of this important initiative. For more information, visit the ACCP-PAC website at www.accpaction.org or contact John McGlew ([email protected]).
