https://texas.aoa.org/advocacy/texas-optometric-political-action-committee-(topac) : The TOPAC page sits on texas.aoa.org under TOA's Advocacy section. It says 'TOPAC is among the largest and strongest healthcare PACs in our state' and 'Without the strength of TOPAC, these legislative successes would not have been possible.'
What this organization says it wants
Texas Optometric PAC is on record about 4 bills, through federal lobbying filings and testimony to state committees. None of them carries both a stated side and a bill we have placed on the scale, so there is nothing here to compare yet.
