- Abstract:
In American politics, a political action committee (PAC) is an organization created to raise money to elect or defeat a candidate for public office. The money a PAC raises is donated to a specific candidate or campaign, or to the committee of a national political party. The majority of PACs represent specific interests, such as corporations, labor unions, or certain political views. Since their inception, PACs have become important components of American election cycles.
