Definition
- Political action committees (PACs) are organizations that raise and distribute campaign contributions to candidates for Congress and other offices. Their rapid growth during the 1970s and 1980s made them for a time one of the most controversial aspects of the campaign financing system. [Source: Congress A to Z; Political Action Committees]
