Political action committees (PACs) serve to raise and spend money on political campaigns, primarily to support candidates aligned with specific interests or ideologies. PACs enable individuals and organizations, such as corporations or unions, to financially influence the political landscape while adhering to campaign finance laws. Their contributions can amplify the voices of their respective interests, allowing for greater visibility in the political arena. However, the role of PACs raises concerns about potential corruption and undue influence in politics, prompting ongoing debates about campaign finance reform.
