Political action committee

A Political Action Committee (PAC) is a kind of group for people who want to raise money for politicians and other political causes. PACs collect money from members and then use that money to help people get elected to office or to support a political cause. PACs can also run ads to support their candidate or cause. PACs are important because they give regular people a way to have a say in politics without being an official politician.
