Bloomington, IL – Today the McLean County Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) Political Action Committee (PAC), a

showed a strong desire to work with the Chamber to learn more about key issues impacting the business
community,” said PAC Chair Meghan O’Neal-Rogozinski. “We encourage voters to support these candidates at
the polls starting September 26th through November 5

About the PAC

The mission of the McLean County Chamber of Commerce is to “promote commerce, advocate pro-business
perspectives, collaborate to lead change, and engage in action for results that strengthen the prosperity of the
business community” or PACE. For this to happen, it is critical that local elected officials have a strong
understanding of the importance of creating a business-friendly environment in the community.
To advance our PACE mission the McLean County Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee (PAC), a
separate subsidiary entity of the Chamber, formed in 2009 as a bipartisan effort to support candidates,
committees, and issues at the local and state level that champion a healthy economy, favorable business climate,
high quality of life and progressive future for McLean County. The PAC relies on support from individuals and
businesses to continue our advocacy efforts. It is governed by its own Board of Directors that are Chamber
members and administered with staff support.
