Our mission statement

The SRP Political Involvement Committee fosters employee engagement in public policy issues and gives SRP employees a voice in electing federal, state and local officials.

SRP's Registered Political Action Committee

Organized in 1976 as the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association Political Involvement Committee, the SRP PIC, or "PIC" as it is known, is a political action committee registered with the Federal Election Commission and Arizona Secretary of State's Office.

Because federal and Arizona laws prohibit businesses from giving money to candidates for elected office, PIC is able to do what SRP cannot by pooling financial contributions of its members in support of candidates who have shown a positive interest in water and power issues. As a PAC or "separate segregated fund," PIC solicits and accepts contributions solely from SRP executives, administrative personnel, shareholders and voting-aged members of their immediate families who are eligible to join. Contributions from persons outside this category cannot be accepted and will be returned.

Keeping SRP informed and involved

As its name implies, PIC is dedicated to keeping its contributors, members of the SRP Governing Boards and SRP employees at large involved in our nation's political process by providing neutral, objective information about candidates, elections, ballot measures and public policy developments affecting the water and power industry.

PIC does this by distributing neutral non-partisan voter guides with color-coded election maps and contact information for Arizona's elected officials. In addition to inviting elected officials and political commentators to its events, PIC also produces an election-year picnic that has become renowned as one of the largest non-partisan political rallies in the state.
