What is a State PAC?
A State Political Action Committee (PAC) is an organization established to raise and spend money to influence state-level elections, legislation, and public policy. State PACs operate within a specific state and focus on local and state government offices, including state legislatures, gubernatorial races, and other local positions and issues.
Purpose
The primary purposes of a State PAC include:
Supporting Candidates: NAPAC GA contributes to the campaigns of state and local candidates who align with our interests or policy goals.
Influencing Legislation: NAPAC GA will lobby for or against state legislation, aiming to shape public policy in favor of our community interests.
Promoting Issues: NAPAC GA raises awareness and support for specific issues or causes within the state, often through funding advertisements and grassroots campaigns.
Electioneering Communications: NAPAC GA may engage in activities that support or oppose candidates and issues, including TV ads, mailers, and digital campaigns.
Operation
NAPAC GA operates under specific state laws and regulations, which govern our formation, fundraising, spending, and reporting. Here’s an overview of how we typically operate:
Fundraising: NAPAC GA raises funds from individuals, businesses, unions, and other organizations. State laws dictate contribution limits and disclosure requirements.
Events and Solicitations: NAPAC GA may hold fundraising events, send solicitation letters, and use online platforms to gather donations.
Candidate Support: Funds are used to contribute directly to candidate campaigns, within state-imposed limits.
Independent Expenditures: NAPAC GA can spend money independently to support or oppose candidates and issues through advertising, mailers, and other means.
Operational Costs: Funds are also used for administrative expenses, such as staff salaries, office space, and compliance costs.
Disclosure
Reporting: NAPAC GA must regularly report their contributions and expenditures to the state election authority. These reports include the sources of their funds and how the money was spent.
