The Bay Area Municipal Elections Committee (BAYMEC) is a four-county lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer + (LGBTQ+) political action committee (PAC). It has been advocating for the civil and human rights of LGBTQ people since 1984. It is the only political action committee dedicated to this purpose in the central coast counties of San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Monterey. BAYMEC is governed by a Board of Directors and is supported solely through private contributions. Our Board of Directors is all volunteer and we are always looking for new LGBTQ+ Board Members.
