Abstract:
In this essay, the author analyzes contributions from the American Academy of Family Physician's (AAFP's) political action committee (FamMedPAC) during the 2018 election cycle. The author highlights discrepancies between explicit AAFP legislative priorities and the voting records and public positions of Congressional members who received FamMedPAC support during the election cycle. The analysis raises questions about FamMedPAC's decision-making process for allocating support to candidates. The author posits that consistency between AAFP positions and those of candidates receiving FamMedPAC contributions is essential to preserve both public trust in family physicians and family physicians' trust in the AAFP.
