Social Workers Political Action Committee (SWPAC)

As the political arm of the NASW Oregon Chapter, the Oregon Social Workers Political Action Committee (SWPAC) is committed to brining the voice of social work to the Oregon Legislature.  During election cycles, SWPAC conducts interviews with candidates and we find out where they stand on issues that we care about, such as mental health, health reform, funding for human services, revenue reform, civil rights, and criminal justice reform.

Through these efforts, SWPAC also eduates candidates about the social work profession, our values, and our priorities for the upcoming legislative session.

To get more involved with SWPAC, please contact or call the NASW Oregon Chapter office: at 503 452-8420

Committee Chair: Elaine Charpentier-Philippi

Support Our Political Action Committee!

By pooling small contributions from social workers across the state, SWPAC is able to give modest, but significant, campaign assistance to targeted candidates who support social work issues.  To do that, SWPAC needs your help.
