MONA-PAC is the only political action committee
representing the interests of all professional nurses in Missouri. It was established to elect
candidates that will advance MONA’s legislative and regulatory agendas. This includes core issues of:
- Workplace rights and safety
- Safe and adequate nurse staffing
- Patient advocacy
- Access to quality health care
- Health care finance
- Nursing education, practice and licensure
MONA-PAC was founded in 1985 as the Political
Action for Nurses in Missouri Committee. The group has interviewed and endorsed hundreds of candidates for elected office in the Missouri legislative and executive branches. At this time, MONA-PAC contributions have attributed to a 95% success rate for candidate elections/re-elections
MONA-PAC goals:
- Ensuring a majority of legislators are those
endorsed by the MONA-PAC (with a minimum 82 Representatives and 18 Senators)
- Advocating for all House and Senate committees
impacting nursing to be chaired by a MONA-PAC endorsed legislator
- Legislative leadership positions be held
by MONA-PAC endorsed persons who are successfully elected
MONA-PAC activities build on non-partisan,
criteria-based selection to:
- Promote and financially endorse candidates
who support MONA’s legislative
agenda
- Encourage grassroots involvement and nursing participation in the electoral process
- Establish a dynamic, ongoing communication process between MONA-PAC, the MONA Board of Directors, district presidents and
individual contributors
MONA-PAC differs from the MONA Government Affairs Committee:
- Government Affairs Committee monitors
legislation and regulation that impact nursing,
developing a proactive agenda to support and direct nursing issues
- MONA-PAC endorses candidates that support
MONA and its legislative and regulatory agenda
MONA-PAC is funded through individual
contributions. MONA membership dues are not and cannot be used to endorse candidates.
