The crew discusses the 2021 gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey, the mayoral elections taking place in more than two dozen major cities and special elections for vacant House seats.In today's world of permanent campaigning,"leadership PACs" -- political action committees established by individual politicians -- have served as an invaluable vehicle for members of Congress to support their political allies.
During the 2020 election cycle, there were at least 120 members of Congress whose leadership PACs reported that less than 50% of their spending was in the form of political contributions to other candidates, political allies, or parties, according to the report. Early in 2019, then-North Carolina GOP Rep. George Holding's leadership PAC made two such contributions, giving a total of $5,000 to a fellow North Carolina Republican House hopeful running in a GOP primary.
"Most members of Congress use their leadership PAC for their intended purposes -- aiding other candidates, their parties, and political allies," Issue One Research Director Michael Beckel told ABC News. For a typical member, Beckel said, 70% of their leadership PAC's expenditures go toward political expenditures.
Holding's PAC did not respond to ABC News' request for comment, but the then-congressman told CQ Roll Call in a statement last year that as co-chair of the U.K. Caucus and co-chair of the British American Parliamentary Group, he"traveled to London at no expense to the taxpayer for the purpose of developing and maintaining a leadership role on U.K./U.S. issues."
Tens of thousands of dollars of Paul's PAC money also went to travel, lodging and meals at high-end establishments, including The Breakers, a five-star resort in Palm Beach, Florida, and BLT Prime at former President Donald Trump's hotel in Washington, D.C. Paul's PAC also spent money on tickets at Nationals Park, home of Washington's Major League Baseball team, and at Karlštejn Castle, a tourist destination outside Prague in the Czech Republic, according to the report.
VoteBlue✌🏼💙2022 No more clowns🤡🤡
Now there’s a turd.
why lead with a photo of rand paul? it's a 50/50 split deal right now between dems and reps as far as what's reported. should at least do a split and have a dem in the photo also. but you want the quick visual.
And at the same time, it makes it more difficult to track where the monies come from & Foreign Govt's can take advantage of this... China, Russia for example can flood the system with Billions of Dollars & put it directly into these PAC's..
Fundraising is what Republicans do best by pushing a negative cynical agenda against half of the nation’s population of Democrats and Independents that won’t bend to their right-wing radical ideology.Their whole political agenda is to hold on to government power without governing

Unions Spend Big to Push Democrats’ $3.5 Trillion Spending PlanUnions representing teachers, service employees, communication workers and others are among those deploying lobbyists to Capitol Hill and bankrolling multimillion-dollar advertising campaigns. Biden's $3.5 Trillion tax plan will be a failure, but the sheep are moving their masses into the slaughterhouse. The Pharmaceutical Companies have more lobbyists than entire members of Congress. This bill would allow Medicare to negotiate RX prices. Our Senior population can't afford RX, but Pharmaceutical Companies are so powerful with lobbyists and campaign contributions, bought 2 Dems. Hardly much competition for the rich corporate interests.
