The St. Tammany CHAMBERPAC is the only pro-business political action committee in St. Tammany Parish dedicated to supporting candidates that will protect and promote a thriving business environment. They are also committed to endorsing important issues that affect local and state government, as well as increasing voter turnout.
“CHAMBERPAC plays a vital role in electing pro-business leaders who shape the future of our parish,” said Delacroix. “With St. Tammany now the fourth largest parish in the state, and newly designated as our own Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), the need for strong, business-minded leadership has never been greater.”
Membership currently stands at nearly 200 area business leaders, with annual dues of $100. They do not charge endorsed candidates for logo use or contribute directly to campaigns. Instead, the organization focuses on thorough candidate interviews, making informed endorsements and voter education to ensure the business community has a strong voice in local elections.
