In approximately 2 months, voters across the country will head to the polls to choose national, state, and local officials.  

These elections can have a significant impact on the rights of hobbyists, fanciers, and purebred owners.  It is essential for the future of our purebred dogs and the sport that you help us ensure that dog-friendly candidates are elected in November.  

AKC Government Relations has created a 2022 Election Guide with simple things you and your club can do to make a difference in the upcoming elections – from ensuring all your club members are registered to vote, to identifying the dog-friendly candidates in your area.   

Please take the time to review and share this guide with club members and feel free to also post on your club web pages and social media.  Please also contact AKC Government Relations at doglaw@akc.org and let us know what you and your club are doing to impact the upcoming elections!
