POSITIVE COMMUNITY ACTION (PCA) is a group of concerned citizens who have joined together to form a political action committee. PCA Directors include: Barbara Bean, Fred Borngasser, John Chmelir, Jill Gleysteen, Robert Hamlyn, and Bill Thorp.

Our mission statement follows:

MISSION STATEMENT
Positive Community Action is a group of dedicated citizens organized to support issues and elect candidates to the Grants Pass City Council and Josephine County Board of Commissioners. Endorsed candidates will pledge to work hard on the tough issues facing our local governments in a collaborative manner without personal agendas and always in the best interests of all responsible citizens of our community.

Positive Community Action endorses the following candidates:

Mayor of Grants Pass Mike Murphy
Councilor Southwest Andrew Margeson
Councilor Southeast Gary Berlant
Councilor Northwest Roy Lindsay
Councilor Northeast Jack Patterson

Josephine County Commissioner Dwight Ellis
Josephine County Commissioner Harry Mackin
Josephine County Treasurer John Harrelson

We are soliciting donations to be used on behalf of the endorsed candidates and other issues. All donations are reported to the State, however only individuals donating more that $100 to a single candidate are identified to the public on the State website. At the same time each individual making a donation may deduct up to $50 of their donation ($100 for a couple filing jointly) from their Oregon State Tax bill.

We are not allowed to accept direction as to specific candidates so we will use the funds where we feel they will provide the greatest benefit in our discretion.

Donations are being accepted by:
