The Exchange Contractors Political Action Committee (ECPAC) was founded in 2004. The purpose of the organization is to influence the political landscape as it relates to farming, property rights, agriculture and water. Corporations, organizations, individuals that are US Citizens, and other ag-related entities may also contribute and support these efforts. An oversight committee oversees the ECPAC.
ECPAC is a non-profit, non-governmental organization governed by a volunteer oversight committee. A President and Treasurer provide leadership and direction. Landowners, farmers and contributors working in the San Joaquin River Contractors Water Authority service area are eligible to serve.
