Support TXCPA PAC – Help Us Reach Our Goals
2024-2025 TXCPA PAC Fundraising Year Coming to a Close
By Kenneth Besserman, Director of Government Affairs & Special Counsel
(March 20, 2025) The TXCPA PAC has had a strong 2024-25 fundraising year, demonstrating itself in a successful start to the 2025 legislative session. TXCPA’s priority legislation, SB 262/HB 1757 (creating an additional pathway to CPA licensure) and SB 522/HB 1764 (improving and modernizing CPA practice mobility) are making progress in the Texas Senate and House. The next couple of months will be an important period in moving the bills towards the Governor’s office for his signature.
Legislative progress on these important bills to address the CPA pipeline cannot be accomplished without a large, effective and highly respected PAC. The TXCPA PAC has paved the way for legislation to improve the profession and also to protect the profession from attacks. Regulatory and licensing threats are increasing in the legislature. The PAC gives TXCPA the stature to work with legislators to make our voices heard, our concerns addressed and lobby for support on our important legislation.
As the 2024-25 PAC fundraising year comes to a close (March 31, 2025), please consider making a contribution (or another contribution) to ensure the continued success of our PAC and our legislative agenda. Chair Mohan Kuruvilla set two PAC goals as part of his year as TXCPA Chair. Contributions from the Leadership Council sit at 70%, below Chair Kuruvilla’s goal of 85% of the Leadership Council contribution to the PAC. Additionally, 3% of CPA members of TXCPA have given to the PAC this year, below the 5% goal. You still have time to contribute and help us reach those goals. Your contributions will also help your chapters reach their fundraising goals and may even lead your chapter to be awarded a PAC award at the Annual Meeting in Galveston later this summer.
A large vibrant PAC sends an important message to the Texas Legislature.
