Made up of RNs appointed by the PSNA Board of Directors, the PSNA-PAC considers the endorsement of incumbents based on their voting records and legislative co-sponsorships related to patient care and the profession of nursing. Consideration for challengers and candidates is based on a PSNA-PAC questionnaire.

“These candidates are proven advocates for legislation impacting patients and nurses,” stated PSNA Chief Executive Officer Betsy M. Snook, MEd, BSN, RN. “Their partnership with PSNA will allow for continued improvement of health and healthcare in our communities. PSNA is proud to announce our 2016 Primary endorsements for the House and Senate”
