Frequently Asked Questions

The North Dakota Rural Electric Political Action Committee (REPAC) is the political arm of the North Dakota Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives (NDAREC) and its member cooperatives. The purpose of the organization is to provide financial support to statewide and legislative candidates who are identified as friends of the rural electric program. REPAC does not make contributions to candidates for federal office.

Joining together with others who believe in the programs and philosophy of rural electric cooperatives has never been more important. The current electric industry restructuring debate demonstrates that the future of the RECs depends upon legislative and regulatory decisions that will be made primarily at the state level. There is strength in numbers, and by combining our individual contributions, we can let state and legislative candidates know that we care about the future of our rural electric cooperatives.

All contributions received by REPAC are used to provide financial support to statewide and legislative candidates who support rural electric issues. REPAC operates on a nonpartisan basis, and supports candidates from both parties. REPAC board members gather information about candidates' positions and voting records, meet with candidates, and visit with local co-op REPAC liaisons, coop managers and directors before making REPAC contribution decisions.
