Physicians in Congress

AMPAC saw an increase in physician participation in the 2008 election cycle and is pleased to announce that physicians continue to make significant gains in becoming Members of Congress. The 111th Congress saw an increase in physicians serving in Congress. Of the 30 physicians who ran for federal office in 2008, 16 were successfully elected and six of these Members of Congress are graduates of AMPAC’s Candidate Workshop and/or Campaign School.

We’d particularly like to welcome two physicians to Congress: Rep. Phil Roe, MD from Tennessee’s 1st district and Rep. Bill Cassidy, MD from the 6th district of Louisiana. Both physicians are alumni of AMPAC’s campaign schools.

If you have ever thought of running for office, or working on a campaign, now’s the time to get involved. AMPAC’s Candidate Workshop, designed for those physicians, spouses and medical society staff who are interested in running for office will be held Feb. 18-20, 2011 in the Washington, D.C. area. The Campaign School, for those looking to volunteer on campaigns, will be held April 13-17, 2011.
