Credit Union-Supported Candidates for the 2012 General Elections

Below is the MCUL’s list of supported candidates for the Senate and Congress, and the MCULAF-endorsed candidates for the Michigan House of Representatives. The bipartisan list has been selected by a volunteer board of credit union officials that reviewed the candidates record of support for credit unions and their issues, voting records, as well as the answers on our questionnaire. The PAC support provided by member credit unions continues to play an increasingly important role in our efforts.

If you have questions about the endorsements or the process, please contact MCUL Vice President of Governmental Affairs Kieran Marion at Kieran.Marion@mcul.org or (800) 262-6285 ext. 465.
