Several of our members asked us for our recommendations for the November 6 Election. TurkishPAC’s articles of incorporation states that “The Corporation shall not concern itself with the political issues that are inherent to the internal and/or international political operations of the USA or Turkish Governments, otherwise not related to the defense of the Turkish Heritage”. We must therefore base our recommendations only to issues that are  related to the defense of the Turkish Heritage.

Based on the above, we recommend that you consider voting for the politicians who are members of the Congressional Turkish Caucus and supported by TurkishPAC. Names and districts of the Turkish Congressional Caucus members are provided below:
