MRAPAC Sporting Clays Shootout

The Memphis Restaurant Association Political Action Committee is a nonpartisan fund with a very simple and well-defined mission: to help elect qualified individuals who recognize the importance of the hospitality and tourism industry to Memphis and Shelby County’s economy and who will give our concerns a fair hearing. Specifically, it concentrates on our city and county legislatures.

Your participation in this event supports our MRAPAC. It is always a fun day with shooting stations, great food before and after, and enjoying being outside!

Through the participation of MRAPAC members, the PAC gives out around $25,000 annually. This strength has provided the hospitality industry with an influential voice at the Memphis City Council, Shelby County Commission and the State Capitol. However, each year, especially in election years, MRAPAC distributes thousands of dollars to candidates for city, county and state office, so we need your continued support.
