President

Brian Marvel

  • President’s Message - January 2021
    I hope everyone had an opportunity to spend time with family during the holidays. Obviously, with COVID-19, this holiday season felt far from normal. As the world deals with the pandemic, many people have had loved ones pass away or suffer from COVID to varying degrees. Hopefully, the people close to you were safe and healthy during 2020, and any family and friends who contracted the virus made it through and are doing well.
Vice President

Damon Kurtz

  • Vice President’s Message - January 2021
    As expected, on the political level 2021 has started much like last year. Within a few days of the start of this year’s legislative session, there were already several bills on proposed law enforcement reform. Despite a lack of experience, it seems everyone is now an expert on law enforcement and has decided they have the best idea on how it should be done.
Treasurer

Timothy Davis

  • Treasurer’s Message - January 2021
    PORAC’s financials encompass a wide variety of accounts, ranging from general funds to political activity to all our invested portfolios. Knowing I do not have a lot of space to write and not wanting to bore you all to death, when needed I will be giving updates on the status of the funds. If something big happens, I will try to focus on one aspect and still give the basic status of all the funds.
