Research Political Action Committees and Campaign Contributions at IQElections.com

IQ Elections now offers a comprehensive database of Political Action Committees (PACs) for interested voters who want to learn more about the role of PACs in American politics. The Political Action Committee search tool at IQElections.com allows site visitors to research campaign contributions made by PACs to candidates. Using the PAC search tool, users can also investigate donations made to the PACs by interest groups, unions, and corporations. Since these types of organizations are not allowed to make contributions directly to political candidates, they must make their political contributions through a PAC.

The basic PAC search on IQElections.com allows users to select an election year, state, and enter a committee name. The advanced search options allow you to further refine your search results based on zip code, party affiliation, committee designation, committee type, or interest group. A list of current PACs by state is also available for site visitors who want to browse the profiles of all political action committees in a specific state.  

The profile for each PAC contains vital information about the group and its finances. A list of itemized contributions, a list of the top donations to the PAC (including the donor’s name, location, occupation, and the donation amount), and a list of the political candidates who received support from the PAC are featured. This information help you make an informed decision if you are considering donating to a PAC or want to learn which PACs support a particular candidate before casting your vote.

Visit IQElections.com today to research the election contributions made by political action committees.

At IQElections.com, individuals who are interested in understanding the money that drives American politics can also research campaign contributions made by individuals and find out where political candidates are getting their financial support. The information on IQElections.com is obtained from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), and all of these resources are available free of charge to site visitors.
