WHAT IS THE BOATING ASSOCIATIONS OF OHIO POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE? The BOAT-PAC is a non-partisan, non-Profit, political action committee formed to raise voluntary contributions to use in supporting candidates for state elective offices who share our boating concerns and are sensitive to expanding recreational boating businesses and opportunities.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE BOAT-PAC? The BOAT-PAC ensures boaters the opportunity to participate in the election of candidates who make decisions affecting the improvement of boating.

WHO DECIDES HOW BOAT-PAC FUNDS ARE SPENT? You do! The BOAT-PAC Committee is made up of boaters like you. The BOAT-PAC Committee decides which candidates to support based on input from BAO members, voting records on key issues, interviews and recommendations from the Towner Policy Group, BAO's lobbyists. The criteria the BOAT-PAC uses for supporting candidates are: (1) candidates who have consistently supported recreational boating legislation (2) candidates who are supportive of a strong business climate where boating can continue to grow and prosper.
