BEA Political Action Committee
About BEA PAC
The purpose of the BEA Political Action Committee (BEA PAC) is to fully realize the goals and objectives of the Billings Education Association. The BEA supports candidates who are friends of education for local, state, and federal offices.
The BEA Political Action Committee interviews and endorses candidates for most local elections: School Board Trustee elections, local Montana House and Senate elections, and some state-wide offices.
Our PAC looks at candidates to see if they are "friends of public education," regardless of party affiliation. We examine their voting record, if available, to see if what they say and promise matches what they actually do when representing us.
Endorsed candidates will be posted on this website under Endorsements. At times, mailings and flyers will be distributed to let members know which candidates are most likely to protect our interests and advocate for public schools.
Help us get the word out. Talk to your family, fellow colleagues, friends, business contacts about our political recommendations. Urge them to vote! We are here to help you with talking points so you can confidently speak to others.
