New Jersey Dental Political Action Committee (NJDPAC) is one of the most influential political action committees in NJ. It raises money solely from voluntary contributions by NJ dentists, and contributes to candidates who support organized dentistry's agenda.

NJDPAC does not support a political party.
It supports a profession — your profession.
Your NJDPAC contribution provides protection against the influence of attorneys, insurers and others seeking to affect the way you want to practice your profession. NJDPAC builds the relationships between organized dentistry and the politicians who can impact your practice.
