The Auto Care Association has added Hailey Ray as director, political affairs.
Ray joins the Auto Care Association’s government affairs department, where she will lead the association’s political action committee, “ACPAC.” ACPAC is the only bipartisan fund that seeks to elect and re-elect officials who work to advance, promote and preserve a vibrant auto care industry, Auto Care says.
Ray will be responsible for designing and administering an aggressive campaign to raise money for the association’s political action committee in addition to coordinating political contributions and producing association-hosted political events. The roll will task Ray with developing and implementing multi-year fundraising, marketing and communications plans focused on retaining and increasing contributions from current donors and expanding the number of donors to the PAC. Ray also will be responsible for working with the association’s government affairs staff to coordinate contributions to political action committees as well attendance at fundraisers and partnering with congressional political finance teams to produce association hosted political events, Auto Care says.
Ray most recently served as the PAC director for the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC), where she oversaw a $3 million PAC program, counseled lobbyists on political climate and how best to spend funds, planned events and meetings at multiple conferences along with separate quarterly events to raise additional dollars and increase the profile of NMHC.
