Connecticut Political Action for Candidate Election (CT-PACE) is the political action arm of the Connecticut Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. As a Political action committee, CT-PACE endorses and financially contributes to candidates from any party who support CT – NASW’s policy agenda. The state CT-PACE Board of Trustees contibutes to state candidates running for state-wide office. CT-PACE works together with the Chapter’s legislative committee, ELAN to as they are really both SIDES OF THE SAME COIN. If we elect candidates who share our values, then, it will be much easier to advocate on behalf of public policies that will positively affect our profession and our clients.

Social workers can influence elections (and therefore legislation, government, and policy) if we vote. Therefore, we must all participate in effords to mobilize social workers and others to vote for candidates endorsed by NASW CT- PACE.
