CACI Completes Two Days Interviewing Legislative Candidate; More
Interviews scheduled for Monday and Tuesday
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the CACI lobbying team and a large
number of CACI members conducted interviews with 26 new
legislative candidates. On this coming Monday and Tuesday, 26
more candidates are scheduled for interviews.
Based on discussions of the candidates with those CACI members
who are participating in the interviews because they have
contributed to CACI’s political action committee, the CACI
lobbying team will develop a list of recommended candidates for
the CACI Executive Committee and CACI Board of Directors for
CACI’s endorsement and financial support from the Colorado
Business Political Action Committee (CB-PAC).
CACI members can participate in the interviews next week by
contributing $500 to CB-PAC. Individuals, companies and PACs
can contribute up to $500 during the two-year, 2009-2010
election cycle to a political action committee such as CB-PAC.
CACI members who wish to contribute to CB-PAC should contact
Denise Reeves, CACI Vice President of Events and Programs, at
303.866.9622 or via e-mail at
dreeves@COchamber.com
Members who contribute to CB-PAC will receive a candidate
