Understanding PACs and Political Committees

Political committees are organizations registered with the FEC to receive contributions or make expenditures in federal elections. There are several types:

  • PACs (Political Action Committees) pool contributions from members to donate to campaigns. Traditional PACs can give up to $5,000 per candidate per election.
  • Super PACs can raise unlimited sums but cannot donate directly to or coordinate with candidates. They focus on independent expenditures like advertising.
  • Party Committees are official committees of political parties at the national, state, or local level.
  • Campaign Committees are authorized by specific candidates to raise and spend money on their campaigns.
  • Joint Fundraising Committees allow multiple candidates or PACs to pool fundraising efforts.

All committees must file regular reports with the FEC disclosing their receipts, disbursements, and cash on hand. These filings are public record.
