Candidates supported by CULAC and Texas Cornerstone Credit Union League PAC did very well in the 2022 general election. Candidates receiving CULAC and PAC funds won in 100% of their races.
“PAC is critical to our political success, ensuring that our voices are heard in D.C. and Austin,” said Cornerstone League President/CEO Caroline Willard. “Our thanks to everyone who contributed and to everyone who engaged in the League’s political efforts.”
