Kentucky Architects in State Politics
Giving Kentucky architects
a seat at the table
The KSA-PAC unites the architectural community to support state legislators who champion the built environment, professional licensure, and design excellence across Kentucky.
“PAC contributions are made to build relationships — not to buy votes. There can be no quid pro quo between a contribution and a specific vote.”
Why the KSA-PAC matters
Architects rarely represent a large voting bloc on their own. The KSA-PAC allows Kentucky architects to combine resources and speak with a unified voice in Frankfort.
Amplify the profession’s voice
A PAC check carries a message on behalf of the entire architectural profession — far more powerful than any individual contribution.
Access key legislators
Reach powerful officials from all districts — including rural areas with few architect constituents — through meaningful relationship-building.
Protect the profession
Stay ahead of service tax proposals, licensure threats, and legislation that could directly affect how architects practice across Kentucky.
How PAC funds are used
To support well-qualified candidates who hold friendly positions toward the architectural profession and its practice.
To express appreciation to incumbents for supportive actions and votes they have made on behalf of Kentucky architects.
To improve opportunities to be heard in future legislative sessions and build long-term relationships with officials.
PAC contributions are purely voluntary and bipartisan. Decisions are based solely on the candidate’s position on architectural key issues.

About the KSA-PAC
A political action committee, or PAC, is the most effective political tool available to Kentucky architects and AIA components. The KSA-PAC allows Kentucky architects to voluntarily band together to express support for legislators and candidates who have taken — or likely will take — positions compatible with the profession’s interests.
Unlike personal or individual contributions, a check from a PAC carries a clear message on behalf of a large number of people — in this case, the entire Kentucky architectural profession. The KSA-PAC provides financial support to candidates running for the Kentucky State Senate and House of Representatives.
The PAC is non-partisan and exists through the voluntary contributions of Kentucky architects like you. It does not support federal or local elections. Contributors can designate contributions to a candidate of their choosing, and individual architects remain free to contribute personally to other candidates based on issues important to them.
PAC contributions are often more effective than individual donations because the recipient clearly understands the professional community behind the contribution — building the kind of long-term relationships that protect the profession year after year.
