Congressman Lacy Clay Visits ACA's D.C. Office for Campaign Fundraiser

U.S. Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.) returned to ACA International’s office in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 24, 2014, for a fundraiser in support of his re-election campaign. Clay also visited the office in June this year for a similar event organized by ACA’s Political Action Committee, which works to support and enhance ACA’s lobbying and political advocacy efforts on behalf of members.

Clay is serving his seventh term and is a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, which continually focuses on oversight and accountability at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

He has encouraged credit and collection industry professionals and ACA members to attend the career fair he hosts in St. Louis each year.

As the election approaches, advocacy on issues important to the credit and collection industry is important. There is no more effective way to cement a good relationship with a potential lawmaker than to participate in his or her election or re-election campaign. ACA’s federal government affairs staff looks forward to working with ACA members to convey the positive economic impact and job opportunities our members provide.

ACPAC works to support and enhance the effectiveness of ACA’s lobbying and political advocacy efforts. For more information, contact ACPAC Director Rae Ann Bevington at Bevington@acainternational.org or (202) 547-2670.
