Victory: 343 Winning Candidates Backed by AOA-PAC



AOA-PAC

 

"The AOA has emerged as one of the most respected and most effective health care organizations in Washington, DC. From working with their outstanding Capitol Hill team and doctors from my home state, I know that optometrists - doctors on the frontline of eye health and vision care -- are determined to help the new Congress make informed decisions about the nation's health care priorities."
- Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-SC), Assistant Democratic Leader, U.S. House of Representatives
