Political Action Committee

A Political Action Committee (PAC) is an organization that collects and distributes money to support political candidates or causes. PACs are formed by businesses, labor unions, or interest groups to influence elections and legislation. They raise funds from members or contributors and then donate those funds to campaigns, often in line with their political goals. PACs must adhere to laws regulating their contributions to ensure transparency and fairness in the political process. They play a significant role in shaping political discussions and outcomes by supporting candidates who align with their interests.
